Today I was leaving the Mall & I noticed the oil pressure was really low, around 15 on the gauge at idle, normally it sits around 30 at idle & goes up with the throddle.
I checked the oil level & everything was fine, no leaks or anything.
The pressure finally went back up to around 30 idling at stoplights, but still that does seem low.
Searching around I stumbled on this thread:

I just changed the oil last weekend & grabbed a Fram because it was all they had in stock that wasnt rediculously expensive.
The pressure has been fine untill today, & apears to be back to normal, or close to it.
Do you think this could be the problem?? If so is there a way to change just the filter without having to buy all new Mobile 1?

And you'll need to add a little to it since there will be oil in the filter.

The filter doesn't hold a quart anyway......

Really!!! Well aren't you a smart one!
I'd bet it could hold up to 1/2 a quart, so Jiggerachi is still going to need to pick up a quart to top it off. And Sammm make a good point about doing when the car is cool since the oil in the filter will have a chance to drain back to the pan to help minimize oil loss and make for a cleaner swap.
