High oil pressure after oil/ filter change...cause?

I was actually reffering to the post higher up , but good to know the WIX has finer filtration

K&N has the finer filtration.

"10 microns K&N vs 19 microns Wix"

10 microns being smaller (1/2 the size) of 19 refers to the particulate size removal capability.
Being an HVAC guy I know the better the filter the more restrictive it will be with typically higher pressures also.

Appreciate all the input and will keep one eye on the gauge and one on the  !

Cuda bob...what brand synthetic are you running.
Does if have the zinc additive or?

               Interesting topic 73440. The art of communication can be a tricky subject, especially when getting to know someone new. Over the years I have run into situations where I ask someone to do something, they do it wrong and when I try to figure out why, sometimes it's in how I asked.   

Communication is the key to success.

always used Mobil 1.  It has zinc, but not high levels of it. zinc only necessary on flat tappets, I thought?

I think the K&N uses a synthetic filter material that does not restrict flow, even though it filters at 10 microns.
