It must be a case of '' they all do that sir'' which was the answer I was looking for.
surely the pressure should remain the same pre and post filer change, since the oil filter/filtration is remote and I assume require the pump/pressure to pump it through the filter. If you started the engine dry, then poured the oil in, I imagine the light would take a second or two before it went out, hence my query regarding blockages in the oilways earlier.
