Oil pressure too high

I have seen high oil pressure on my last flight. It was near 90 psi all the time (Cessna 172S). Before it was rather in 50-70 psi region.

The oil is AeroShell 15W50, changed in October and flown about 15 hours since.

I was told the lubrication system could be blocked on some place. That would be bad.

Any ideas?
