If I had the setup you were speaking of my personal choice would be to change the Filter as soon as I see that it is starting to plug up as indicated by a rise in the differential pressure.
I would not want to wait for a 20% drop in the Oil Pressure.
I have no experience with such a setup. I'd imagine that the differential pressure of a new filter will start to rise as the filter traps particals and contine to rise higher as more is trapped. Changing it as it starts to rise maybe way too early.
