2005 Outback 3.0R LL Bean running hot???

I just got my first Subaru last weekend and I have a question regarding its' oil pressure gauge reading. All the vehicles I've owned in the past had the oil pressure showing at about quarter of the gauge, but this one is at half even after driving only 5 minutes. (It doesn't seem to go any higher than that though...) I am not sure if this is normal for Subarus or if this looks too high. I got mine used with only 6K miles on it. (2005 model)

Could anyone help with my concern?

Are you talking about oil pressure or temp? I'll assume temp as I've not seen an oil pressure gauge on a recent model Subaru.

My '99 Outback comes up to just a hair under halfway very quickly and stays there with only a very slight oscillation of less than the width of the needle.

Duh... it must be a temp gauge not the oil pressure... sorry about that.
