Hello there,
I'd be inclined to get your oil pressure checked just in case, the last thing you want is to be driving around and doing severe damage to your engine.
The oil pump doesn't have to create any noise if or when it's warn, it can be a silent killer to your engine.
This could be a faulty oil pump pressure control valve or the oil pump itself,
some have the manual oil pressure valve with spring & ball bearing plunger, or others can have the electronic sensor pressure control valve.
I don't think you can just replace the pressure control valve as it's integrated/made into oil pump.
Oil pump is normally situated at front of engine and driven directly by crankshaft, or by chain or belt depending if it's petrol or diesel and what size the engine is.
Could also be a wiring
problem to oil pressure switch or faulty new sensor, or fault with dash dail instrument cluster.
Like I say I'd get your oil pressure checked ASAP.
Hope this helps
Si
