when you noticed it at 80 where were you at in the rpm range, or were you at WOT? idling should be around 40 tad over or below, seems like youre fine
mine idles just a hair over 40, and anything over about 2800 rpm mine is at 80

I have seen some odd issues with oil pressure and miss fires before from not changing the oil. I would recommend to go ahead and change it and see if it help before you start replacing parts. Always cheaper to perform maintenance first that needs to be done anyways. I would recommend 5W-30 in a good brand of oil.
