Default knock codes. cannot tell a difference running

my car has been throwing knock sensor codes for a while. by looking at other threads, people are noticing their cars not running normal. mines idles and runs fine from what i can tell. No cutting out or anything. Maybe its just not running up to its capabilities and i just cant feel it ????

Notice anything after the swap other than shutting the light off?

I didn't notice anything, except my light went off and my oil pressure needle now shows 0 lol I broke the oil pressure sending unit behind the intake manifold, and the tops of my hands are so scratched up from from the plastic piece under the window, that i gotta wait till they heal.
