Default Oil pressure high...could be related to coolant?

I recently changed the timing belt and now when I'm driving I noticed the oil pressure gauge is showing between 200 and 225, when usually is below 200. Is that a reason to be worried?
I also replaced the water pump, so when I put new coolant I had 2 different containers of 1 gl each: one had 100% G12 coolant, the other one was mixed(G12 and distilled water) and I added by mistake the one with 100% coolant. I put 3 qt and when I realized what I did, I just added some distilled water (about 1q). Should I flush all out and replace it with the mixed one or this should be a problem? Could the high oil pressure and my coolant mistake be related?
Thanks!

No worries on the coolant as long as you're up to capacity. That oil gauge is oil temp, not pressure (if you had 200psi you'd have far bigger issues). That oil temp is probably fine.
