Hi,

70 psi-ish is perfectly fine depending on driving conditions. 30-40 or so is normal for cruising but under load most rise to 70ish

Largely it depends on engine wear, weight of oil and engine temp. Anything over 30 but below about 80 is perfectly acceptable under most conditions. If you're using factory 5W30 then I wouldn't change anything.
