I accidently poured coolant and water in the oil reservoir (2gal) and ran car for 1 min to move into garage before doing engine flush and 2 oil changes. Oil pressure now runs 20psi (normally 40). Is that ok? Is there something else I should do.

I would just re check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge, this will give you a true reading, there should be no reason why you should loose oil pressure, do this and let me know the readings.
