this is kind of weird, I fired up my 68 today and it always runs about 40-45 psi of oil pressure whether its warm or cold outside. Today was about 65 degree's and my gauge was reading 65-70 psi. It ran fine like it always does, could this be a sign of something wrong?

Probably not....but keep an eye on it. How old is the oil filter & oil ?

Did you change brands of filters?  Some have more restriction than others....

Check to see if the gauge is working properly, also.

the oil is from this last winter, I have to change it for the spring but I start it up about once a month in winter and it didnt do it until now.

Perhaps the filter is partially clogged ? I would do an oil & filter change and see what you've got.

the bypass valve in the pump could be sticking slightly , as long as it stays under 100 no problem
