Default Oil pressure is higher after oil change

So Redline 5w30 viscosity when hot is 11.9 cSt. Mobil 1 5w30 is 10.2cSt. This means Redline is well above average in terms of 5w30 thickness, and Mobil 1 is below average.

Now that I think about it, I wonder if I had my AC on as well which would’ve bumped up my idle a bit and thus the pressure

Between Redline being thicker and my AC possibly being on, I think I just answered my own question and there’s no need to worry.
