Good idea on a short mileage oil change, that $40 or so for oil and filter will be cheap insurance.

Hey, if you're going to be here for a while, why not add your location in the upper right corner of your post... don't worry, we come over for a visit. Just nice to know where people are from.

One thing I did notice is that the OEM oil pressure gauge was reading higher than it normally does. It typically bounces between centered and just a bit high. Now it is a bit high to pretty high. I know it's not accurate, but wondered if maybe some of that oil/coolant mix was still in there and is harder to move than just oil.
Yes, do not use the factory gauge to troubleshoot. You can waste a lot of money and worry doing that.
