I'm defining "clogged" as carrying more foreign material than it originally had when it was new. More foreign material will, by definition, reduce the pressure across the filter after the foreign material accumulates to a certain threshold level.

Were you above the threshold level, and, therefore, by definition, slightly clogged? Maybe, because the new filter increased the oil pressure instantly when you installed it.

My point is you don't really know on both counts.
