I have Cessna 182R I recently purchased. It has a O470U with about 80 hours since factory reman in 2022.
When I turn my engine on, the oil pressure reads high. Over time as the oil warms up the pressure does come down on the ground to the green arc. As I apply fully oil pressure for take off it does go a little high again. But as I out power to enter normal climb from max tax off climb it’s in the green arc.
I asked an A&P about this and he didn’t seem too concern, saying it’s because the oil isn’t warm.
Here is a picture of what it looks like at cold start.
So my question is this something to worry about or should I get it checked by someone else? I use Philips XC 20W50. The previous owner said he did not change the oil grade with the seasons
