This is a slightly off topic question, but does anyone think the filter design may affect oil pressure?

If you take the Fram its heavily covered in mesh with small holes, compare this to say MANN being fully open perhaps allowing better flow/less pressure. There must be some resistance to oil flow as when blocked have a by-pass valve.

The oil pressure switch on 606's is located just under the filter housing.
