VerifiedHello, I am an ASE Certified Technician who will be assisting you further. Are you no longer experiencing low oil pressure symptoms? How much are you reading at the gauge? was a manual pressure gauge used to confirm results?
If you're not experiencing any issues with gauge or noise, I believe you will most likely be fine to drive without concern. Whenever we see oil pump issues, almost never do we see values go up. It may run 20psi at cold but later will show 0-5 psi and we usually hear knocking. I don't believe this is the case with your vehicle. Inspect oil specially if clean and shine light very close to see if you notice any metal shavings.
