oil pressure ?

I have a 01 and it runs awesome with 180k. I am curious to what would cause my oil pressure to run 65-80 psi constantly. been this way since i bought it a year ago. don't know what was run for oil and filter before(most likly crap) but I run 5w30 maxlife with lucas full synthetic stabilizer and don't lose a drop. ideas?
