Yes, filter grommet out of position could do that. Also the wrong filter might do that. Wrong viscosity oil wouldn't reall show much pressure difference. I don't know how transmission fluid or some other incorrect fluid would act in terms of oil pressure. That seems unlikely, however since you feel the oil may be thin, we can't discount the possibility. Maybe you can siphon a small sample, or, at least wipe the dipstick on some white paper and see what it looks like.

This is why I change my own oil.
