Default HIGH OIL PRESSURE

my car has high oil pressure from when i start till i shut it off it doesnt really move if anything the pressure goes up... my car also takes 7 qrts of oil lol im guessing someone put a bigger pan in it... if thats the case then it must have a diffent pump then right? coudl that be for the high oil pressure?
