First thing i thought of is restrictive /Defective oil filter. I personaly have had more than 5 defective oil filters in the past 5 years. most were motorcycle, but 2 were automotive... I would change the oil filter asap, just to be sure. I had a oil filter colaspe Inside before.....

Buy the manufacturer's oil filter.  Cheap filters are, well, cheap.

Buy a OEM or WIX or K&N Thats way to high of a oil pressure idle should be 12-20 i think im not sure. If thats the base 1 filter may be plugged up or a passage 2 your pressure relief valve is gummed up in the oil pump.Change the filter and oil and report back to us.
