Default Oil pressure question

If your engine oil is alittle over the full mark will it cause your oil pressure to rise? I canged my oil and filter and ever since then my oil pressure rises abit when driving.

Fresh oil will give better oil pressure.

And oil pressure changing with engine RPM is normal. (so long as it goes UP when RPMS increase......)

very very low oil level can cause oil pressure to drop.
very very high oil level can foam and splash and cause oil pressure to drop.
slightly low or slightly high will not affect pressure.
