Oil Pressure?
My 60 292 was running a steady consistant 40 Lbs pressure till I had the oil changed last week. Maiden drive I looked down at the pressure guage and it was up to 60+ next thing you know it's dropped to 15 steady.
Did the yahoos overfill my engine and I blew a seal? Just a laymans guess. Is it coincidental?
Thx. David

I hope they didnt put in a Fram filter or one made by them for someone else. They are well known to reduce pressure.
Motorcraft, WIX, Hastings, AC, Puralotor Gold are all good ones.

No way, this place is a 1st class rack. I checked , they don't use no junk in the trunk. It's a "Oil Filter" brand oil filter. In response to the previous astute guess posted, that they may have used a lower viscosity oil, I'm sure the used the best "Oil" brand oil as well.
I'm just glad my shot in the dark guess didn't illicit any affirmatives, I like my seals just the way they were. David
