No, the oil filter tho important to be sure, is not going to quiet the injectors...You are sure about the injectors? Could it be the lifters? As in one or two is collapsing? Power loss will occur in this case also! Run engine till the problem occurs, then do a compression test...this will reveal a lifter...Other than that, you will need to test the injectors with an oscilloscope...
