Now that I think about it, I wonder if I had my AC on as well which would’ve bumped up my idle a bit and thus the pressure
Between Redline being thicker and my AC possibly being on, I think I just answered my own question and there’s no need to worry.

Well your idle with the AC on should be a bout the same with just about a 4-6% increase in load. On the contrary having the AC on will lower coolant temperatures a bit so this will affect the oil cooler as well since the fans are running constantly.
Though the filter shouldnt be so much of a difference you'd have to revert to the stock filter and compare the data to conclude that it's the oil.
Either way I've heard nothing but greatness coming from redline.
