As far as the other things you mentioned, probably not all of them but anything I thought it would need. Oil pressure is still good above 1000 rpm, it is just a little lower at idle (500 rpm). My question is if 8 psi at 500 rpm is too low when the engine is at about 200 deg F?
When oil pressure drops any at all with nothing but an oil change, I get nervous.

Most of that was simply FYI for future members.
I will move the thread to the correct forum.
Per your data; The idle is below SPEC.
Your engine is designed for 600 - 750 RPM idle speed.
