What brand of filter are you using? I would change the oil filter to a genuine A/C filter immediately. Something is wrong if oil pressure changed very much after an oil change. The wrong weight of oil could also explain it.
all is normal ...was your last oil trashed?washed out/thin?..as bob said , weight...did you change from a low to higher viscosity.
