Default oil pressure ?

ok ive always used the walmart brand oil filters and my oil pressure has always been about halfway on the gauge

i just tried the stp brand filter and now my oil pressure is only about 1/4 on the gauge ....

now this concerns me because well im not sure if this is just my oil filter or if my infamous and most recent dunking may havefried something else ... i dont know what all to check here ... i dont want to just replace the filter concidering i just changed my oil about 100 miles ago but well idunno

any advice

Start with the simple. Do and oil change, using the same type of oil and go with another filter. Go with WIX or similar - they're a good filter. I've never been a fan of the Walmart brand filters.
