My oil pressure keeps going up when I accelerate. The oil level is good it is exactly on the line.

ok ince it is going high but oil level is not over or under you will need to test the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge to ensure the in-car gauge is accurate. if it is accurate then the oil may be too thin (wrong vescosity) or worn out, or the oil pump may need replaced.
