Oil filter the problem???

First off I never used to have problems with my oil pressure until a little while ago, it was dropping very low under 15, and into the red so I replaced the oil pressure switch at first it seemed like it worked, but now pressure is dropping low again, and I got to thinking the other day, and reliezed the last 2 times I changed my oil filter I used a Bosch brand oil filter, and Im wondering if that could be the problem maybe its not flowing oil through it properly? Has anyone else tried one of these, and had a problem with them? Any help would be great thanks

....

i always use FRAM.. the orange one...

if u think its a problem.. to ruile it out.. buy a 2.88 cent fram install it.. tighten ur drain plug.. tighten the new oil filter.. and same with the oil cap...

Make sure u have the right amound of OIL in the engine.. and take it form there.. check for leaks, by parking it somewhere and taking note of the ground before and after... if its leaking from somewhere.. u gotta track it down.. install a new gasket or use some make a gasket stuff
