I’m used to seeing it remain centered. Recently it’s been a little over. Thank you!

Actually, that's good. Did you change your oil recently? That tends to make the pressure a touch higher.

Awesome, thank you! I changed the oil in January. Valvoline 10W-30 high mileage.

That's not "recently".

Never said it was. Lol! The oil itself barely has 700 or so miles. I just got her up and running. I changed it out at 186,280
