yer true av done a search and it says oil level red 4 pressure. cud be a fkd sensor maybe as oils cushty,engine runnin fine

Yellow is sensor
Red is pressure

Sensors arent cheap from memory 

Worth whipping off the sump to double check the pickup pipe and replace anyway

mine was the same mate even had new oil change but aint gonna sort it if the pick up pipe is blocked take off the sump and unblock it for the sake of such a simple task it cost me a new engine and if it needs a new pipe they aint to expensive and could save you a few hundred failing that its that then i would start looking at sensors one on the oil breather filter is a good start as it is easily disturbed
