Pre-winter oil change. Puralator PureOne #30001 (The big bastard) and 6 1/4 quarts of Rotella T6.

So I read a ton of different answers on this...I'm using Rotella T5 15w-40 and a Mobil 1 M1-301 filter. At idle my oil pressure sits around 32. At hwy speeds, it's just under 60. Can anyone running this verify this is normal?

That pressure is fine. I wouldn't rely on the dash gauge though, they are known to be very unreliable. Use a proper pressure gauge to verify it if you are concerned. Oil pressure mostly comes from your bearing clearances (from what I understand)

That's pretty close to what mine runs but I'm just running Supertech 10W30 full synthetic.
