[TR] 30 psi at 65 mph

[Tony Drews]

One of the rules of thumb is 10 psi per 1000 RPM - so 20 psi at 2000 
RPM, 30 psi at 3000 RPM, etc.  30 psi isn't great (I'd rather see 50) 
but it's not awful either.  If it starts dropping, THAT's a "shut it 
down now" deal.

If you've got access to some tools, you may try screwing the oil 
relief screw in a bit.  This is a big screw / bolt with a locknut 
sticking out of the oil filter head.
