Higher idle oil psi after a fluid change

[smurf_FL5]

5k miles on the FL5 , 100% stock I was seeing 19-21psi on the oil at idle after warm up . Now that I changed the oil im seeing 26-30ish psi at idle after warm up . Running pennzoil ultra platinum 0-20 with mobil1 oil filter .
Normal driving around 65-70psi

With 0w20 I normally see 19-21 PSI at idle. Are you sure it wasn't 5w30 you put in?

 

[smurf_FL5]

Yeah which do why it would be reading high

Just normal highway speed - 70mph

I have 5W-30 and I see 19-21 PSI on idle

I use the WIX Oil Filter

Might just be Mobil 1 oil filter vs Honda OEM.
