Not real sure how it can be too high but blowing oil filters isn't going to cut it. I forget but is oil pressure switch located right there also? Just a wild thought that it might be confused with an oil pressure switch leaking and gets relieved with a new filter?? I think the switch is really not that close but can't recall.
