A bit concerned..2018 gt350, decided to do an early first oil change at 850 miles. Reputable dealer in West Palm Beach put 10 qts and new filter .
Readings when warming up at 105 or so.. problem is this pressure isn't easing as it warms up. Full warm up I'm still looking at 100 plus psi at 2500 rpm. Is this considered normal? Previous to oil change I don't recall it was this high....psi arrow pretty much pointed stright up at 90 or do I think

at idle, when fully warmed up, should drop around 25

Normal. Fresh oil will have a slightly higher viscosity and therefore higher pressure.

I had the same thing on my 2018. Changed around 1400 miles. Just changed again at 3700 miles with no issues. Funny how the one I did this weekend did not see those same initial high pressures. I was expecting to see the same. I am not worried about it.

So funny to read this thread. I freaked out several weeks ago after my first oil change... pressure was consistently higher with the new oil and filter. However, everything appears perfect, so I'm sure it is just like what the guys above said.
