Sorry if this has been answered, I just changed my oil w/filter in my 01 Tahoe. Mobil 1 10w30 with AC Delco filter. Idle is at 40 but while driving around city it fluctuates between 50-60. Is this normal pressure range?

Wondering if 60 is normal?

Yup...it's good. General rule across the board is 10psi per 1k rpm. Mine idles with 45psi, cruises with 50-60, & goes a little higher full throttle in higher rpm's...

Thanks Cameron. Before I changed the oil I really never paid any attention to the pressure, just making sure everything was under normal operation. I appreciate it.
