10-20 psi at warm idle and 35-55 psi at 55 mph is common.

No, that (~18 psi) looks good for a completely warmed up engine.

What brand oil filter are you using?

My pressure dropped after an oil change. Orange can. Then I swapped filters (again) without changing oil and it went up ~ 10 psi across the board. Just sayin'

At 283K, I would be thrilled to have oil pressure that high.
Stop worrying and drive it.

Same for me. My 01 is 50 while driving around and ~20 at idle......once warm. If you were at 3k rpm I would be worrying for you. Seems healthy to me.
Really? Look at the angle of that pointer... appears to be slightly less than 210* to me.
Looking good in both cases, no need to borrow any trouble...

Wow, My 4cyl with 310K miles on it stays between 40 and 50.
When I bought my 6cyl it was sitting near 30. the PO had taken it to jiffy lube and they put a little bitty filter on it. I replaced the filter with the correct size Bosch and it went back up to 40.

I haven't had a sender yet I could really count on. I always hook up a mechanical pressure gauge (at least once) to check my real pressure and then extrapolate.
The vast majority of senders are under, I have one now that is over (a first).

My 98 used to look that good. Now I am around 10 at hot idle. Sometimes when wheeling, the oil pressure light comes on. Had a tap in the motor for a while, but that went away. Think a lobe is flattened now. Still runs fine, but power is off a bit and mileage is around 15.

If a lobe was flattened the tap would have gotten worse, not better.

Then I have no idea why the noise went away.

Could have been a small piece of dirty in a lifter that eventually worked its way free.
