I don't even know if it's possible, but make sure it's not stuck in the open position.

Ok, so I was able to look at it late this afternoon and the oil supply is clocked at about 8 which is lower than the filtered supply directly in the middle. The bypass is on top and is moving/seating as expected. There is some resistance but not sure the exact pressure.
Anyway here is the pic of the oil filter housing
And just for teasers

Hi Stingray . nobody has mentioned oil filters themselves. Some filters have check valves in them and others do not. I would double check that you have the appropriate filter for your duke. the ones that usually don't have a check valve are mounted vertically and can't drain back. Hope this helps you. sleek

Sleek thanks, I'm sure others were thinking the same thing. So I cut 2 filters open, the one empty and the one I used for flushing. The Delco filter diaphragm was week at best, the other brand was much more pliable albeit newer (purchased).
After I flushed the engine a few days ago and let it sit the fresher filter had oil retained in it.
In case anyone is curious here's a photo of the cut open filters.
Are 8 ports better than 6?
FYI the media on the suspect filter looked like garbage, the flush filter more expected.

The six port filter has larger ports. I would think the same amount of oil would circulate through the filter. If not I would think you oil pressure readings would be higher.
