I am not sure which filter I used - It was either the napa one it came with or a Wix (not sure if I have the XP ones). I did not have this issue last year. Shout out to JFP in PA, I always appreciate your help.
What I think happened was the filter was filtering out the engine restore additive I put in during the last oil change, and it was restricting oil flow since there is no oil bypass with a spin on filter. I found it in the filter when I removed it. Did you put any additives in the oil? I changed the filter twice and have not had a problem since.
