Mine PSI seems to be really high in the morning.

Normal driving around 3500rpm.

Seems to be normal afterwhile.

Around 3500rpm the PSI would be slightly before 120.

That normal?

Assuming you mean Oil Pressure, and not Fuel pressure, right? That being the case, when my car is cold, anything over abou 3K RPM will push the needle upto 120. I drive very mellow in this case. Once the car is warmed up, it usually sits in the 60 range at idle, if I recall correctly.

Baptist, along with quite a few others, had a similar problem. The gauge was stuck at 120 though. He took it into the dealer and it turned out to be a bad sending unit.
