Hey! I'm green as grass here first off. My 02 is doing the same thing I think. Does your pressure drop at stops while driving? My pressure will drop as I pull in to a parking spot, but after idle for 2-3 seconds comes back up to norm.

I think over revved once and that might very caused it my oil well stay at normal line and go higher as I accelerating I notice no loss of oil or leak and my oil has been at the safe line since 4 months ago that I changed.

and also I was told it could've been a cps sensor but for me it ended being a lift pump that was a Jerry engine since my issue has stopped since I've replaced I hope this helps good luck!
