Weather the released spring length is 60 or 62.5 mm is not going to make a significant difference. Depending on the oil pressure used the oil light flickering at low speed or idle is indication that the oil pressure has dropped below 3 to 5 psi. So whether the relief spring is working at 30 or 40 or 50 psi it just doesn't matter. So a new spring is not going to fix anything.
