No oil pressure on start up after oil change.

I know Ed, crazy for sure, eye balling that wix everything looks normal as compared to the used napa/wix.
I did give plenty of time on the warm engine for the new oil to make the trip to the pan.
Car was sitting back to level on the floor ect.
Can't explain it.
Will see tomarrow eve with the next new filter lol.
Have a good night.

I have run into Chicom counterfeit fuel filters on my Cummins Diesel. Totally blocked the flow on attempted restart. Could be spreading to oil filters now too.

I just want to add a recent experience.

I’ve had my trans, bellhousing, clutch, flywheel out for repairs.

While it was on stands and waiting parts I decided to change the oil and filter.
It has a 7qt Miladon pan and pickup. 40 year old milling hv pump.
New K-N Filter with about 6oz of oil filled. 8 Qts of Gibbs HR5 10w-40.

I waited 2 days until I had installed the starter. I wanted to make sure the starter worked correctly before proceeding. Cranked it with a remote switch (ignition off).
I could see that the air bubbles in the oil pressure gauge line were not moving. Cranked for 10-15 seconds, no oil pressure.

I didn’t like that, so I pull the distributor and primed with a drill. Came right up to 80 psi.
