If you spot check your idle oil temp when warmed up and it is 30, you have nothing to worry about currently.
Hope this helps

Thanks, Zach. Should you see the 20 PSI, does that mean there is possible engine damage to the point where there is metal in the engine?
Really appreciate the insight and the work your company has done. This helps put some questions to rest.
