At what temp should i pull over and let it cool? With a warm engine and SAE30 or 40, I expect 8-12 psi at idle and 24- 28 at idle. The pressure relief valve is supposed to limit the pressure to no more than 28 psi, but this can be overwhelmed by a cold engine, oversized oil pump, or heavy oil. I have seen 42-44, but this is really not desirable.
