On my 95 the oil pressure reading is 60 PSI does this sound right seams too high

Oil pressure on my 98 is 74 psi at start up. As the oil thins out it drops to maybe 54psi at 2000 rpm.

this is great oil pressure, be thankful...

Yes that is great oil pressure.

When I first got the Aurora, oil pressure at hot idle was 21 psi or so. 8 years later it is 16 psi.

My friend sold his when it read 13. I still see that car all over the place, running good.

My car is definitely broken in with 278,000 km. I use 15-40 weight oil in the summer. I use the 5-30 in the winter. Spring and fall I mix and match all the weights, 10-30, 5-30, 15-40. I use the NAPA gold filters.

I don''t know what to expect for ultimate mileage before rebuild, any thoughts?
