Hi there Sean, and welcome to the Pelican family...
Your description of the oil level and pressure levels are correct to the user manual, and how it should all work - do some searches here and you will find lots of info on this

But I am sure that some of the longer running members will give you some more detailed answers then another new member like me can
BTW, it is customary to post some pics of your car as a new member
