I would suspect someone has already used engine cleaner and that is the reason you have that problem now. That is probably the worst thing you could do to a dirty engine because it will produce what you are experiencing now. I also tend to doubt that it is actually the oil filter causing that because it has a bypass but the pickup screen is likely getting clogged.
