The car doesn’t have to be in gear for the oil pump to run. If the engine is running the oil pump is on. That’s why there’s a red light that looks like an oil can when the key is on before you start it but it turns off when the engine is running because there is oil pressure. If that light is on when the engine is running you need to shut it off immediately or you’re going to be replacing an engine.
