The wrong oil filter can cause many problems. Low oil pressure is one of them. Remove the filter and install the correct one. Have been using Sakura oil filters for the last two years and have low oil pressure around 5lbs on idle with hot engine(measured with oil gauge) and the oil light taking around 8 seconds to go off on cold start up, thinking this was a worn oil pump or bearings i almost ordered a new oil pump and bearings($1000) when i thought i shall try different filters, read about how good Ryco filters are so bought one main filters and bypass filter, i could not belive the results on start up, oil pressure at 55lbs at cold and stays at 30lbs when hot, so how many engines have been rebuilt as the mechanics have thought its a worn engine when infact it was just the oil filters. The Sakura filters were bought new from a major retailer, the only thing that worries me now is how many thousand of miles it has it taken of the engine.
