No. Not too worried about it. It's within specs. I was just wondering why it would happen. I'll try a different filter next change.

Oil pressure was what it's always been, 42-43, after I changed the sending unit and screen. Oil pressure didn't change until I switched to full synthetic and a better filter.

I'll check later on today. My memory is really bad but I think it's normal at about 42-43. I know its operating all within specs on both ends so I'm not necessarily worried. I was just wondering why there would be such a big change in pressure with the only change being in that of the oil and...

I just replaced it and the filter last week.

I dont know.

No

I didn't mean cold as in weather. Just starting the truck for the first time that day.

2010 Silverado 1500 with 140,000. I switched from Valvoline High Mileage synthetic blend to Valvoline High Mileage full synthetic both 5w-30 and from a Valvoline VO88 oil filter to a Wix Xp. Why did my oil pressure go from 41-42 psi at cold idle to around 28 at cold idle after switching?
