Let's see how to resolve code P06DD on an Alfa Romeo Giulia: this is a generic code indicating "low engine oil pressure - oil pump performance". As the YouTuber mentions, the first solution to try is to change the oil and filter; indeed, his suspicion was that the oil filter was of poor quality or clogged.

In this case, excessive restriction is created, preventing the oil from circulating correctly, causing a drop in pressure downstream of the filter, which is why the ECU detects error P06DD. If the code returns, then the diagnosis becomes more complex, and it may be necessary to check the actual oil pressure with a gauge to rule out a sensor error, after which you will need to inspect the oil pump and its pipes, making replacement the only possible option, albeit a costly one.
