I've had oil filters bust open with that kind of pressure. I'd say it's excessive and unnecessary. Oil doesn't work better at higher pressures it needs just enough pressure to seperate moving parts under load, hot or cold. The gears as pointed out and the shaft driving them need to be rugged. I wouldn't goose it cold!
