A possible solution for a problem I am chasing for more than 6 months which costs around $20 and can be done n a few minutes during an oil change ?

You betcha I am gonna do this!

if you're concerned about oil pressures, swap it out. it takes a couple of minutes during an oil change and costs less than $20. it improved my oil pressure at idle by 25%. it matters.
