I just had the oil and filter changed over a month ago. First the idiot put the wrong filter in and it was leaking like crazy so I had to take it back and he put the correct oil filter on this time and the leaking has stopped since then.

I would want to know what PN filter was used, oil weight, and if checked when filter was re-changed. If the filter used first was restrictive, well......

Jake Raby also mentions pick up screen being clogged with gasket making material is common if pan has been pulled.
