Low oil pressure after oil change
Just did an oil change a couple days ago and now I've noticed my oil pressure is about 10-13 psi. Before the oil change it was about 15-17 psi. I used Mobile 1 10w-30 and Mobile 1 301 oil filter. I however did not do the previous oil change and I'm thinking it was probably a heavier weight. I currently have 58k miles on my truck. Any ideas?
Thanks for the replies in advance!

I wouldn't worry about it unless it gets down below 10psi. Wait a week or so of driving till its viscosity has a chance to break down some and pressure will more than likely return. Still 17psi seems low to me, my gauge reads 20-25psi at cold idle.... so IDK man, good luck and stay on top of it.

Friend of mine runs it year round in his Rangies and never had a problem. All 7 of them.

I wouldn't worry about 10-13 at a hot idle. My 2003 is 15psi when sitting at a stop sign some days. I use Mobil 1 10w-40. I have a digital oil pressure gauge installed. Sounds like yours is nothing to worry about. I would't worry till its 8psi or below. What is your cold startup oil presure. Mine is 45-50psi and about 45psi @ 2000rpm. My VIN is in the death range but seems healthy still at 90k.
