oil pressure question
I recently changed oil in my car. I used 10w40 and an ac delco pf454 filter. My problem is that when I am cruisin at about 3000 rpm the pressure gage goes from 45 to 25 psi. I dont hear any knocking. Could it be wrong filter or collapsed filter?

Is it a electric or mechanical gauge? If it is electrical it could be the sender going bad.
Test it with another gauge mechanical type. |

Does it stay at 25 psi or does it jump around?

Mechanical gauge. And it jumps around.

If it didn't do that before the oil change I would invest in a new filter. I prefer WIX filters, NAPA gold filters are also good, made by WIX. Nothing but good reports on WIX filters. Whatever you do avoid the Orange Canister of Death (Fram).
