I think after about 5 minutes the pressure came back up to where it normally runs. I didn't do any more with it than a moderate idle untill it came up. AaronSEIA [Reply]  [No Email]

Somewhere in my owner's or shop manual it says that it will show slightly lower pressure until the filter builds up some restriction with crud that it traps from the oil. Willie [Reply]  [No Email]

I use WIX filters on mine and run around the M on the gage. Another thing I do is I fill the filter with oil before I install it. It helps build pressure faster. Leonard [Reply]  [No Email]

Sometimes they come loose and get tossed with the old filter. [Reply]  [No Email]

I use the Fram C159 filters, cost about $5 at Fleet Farm and haven't had a problem. [Reply]  [No Email]

My self I use the wix57011 filter. Also make sure when you removed the old filter it didn't pull the oil tube out with it that also will cause problems. That tube likes to stay inside the old filter so check your old filter for the tube staying in its center [Reply]  [No Email]

I remember there being a tube sticking up when i put the filter on. I may just have to try another filter. [Reply]  [No Email]

Many filters will fit but many are the paper type that have no back pressure to them so you then have little or no pressure and no pressure equals lack of engine oling [Reply]  [No Email]
