Bad gas maybe? That wouldnt effect oil pressure but it could effect the idle I think. What was the oil pressure before?

I would change the oil filter it may be clogged and the reason for your high oil pressure. If you change it and it is still high check your oil pressure sending unit it may have gone out.

I had a bad filter on a 78 dodge i had and it blew the filter clean apart!

I agree with this guy. Or it could be your sending unit and or gauge.

took it for a drive and 40 at idle and 60 when on the gas back to where it needs to be but i was going to do an oil change so i will chage the filter too to see if that solves it.
