No oil pressure - now what?

[rocco16 at sbcglobal.net (LEF)]

Youngson had zero oil pressure after installing a new Mann on his MkI.  Pulled it off, put on a new Fram; oil pressure okay. 
  I contact Mann, they say not the fault of the filter, it's a stuck valve in the oil pump.  I say BS, but saved the oil filter(full of fresh synthetic 20W-50) anyway.
  Two years later, I put that same oil filter on my MkII, just to see what happens.  What happens is nothing.  Oil pressure is normal.
 Come to your own conclusions.

  Are you sure that Mann filters aren't the same thing as Bosch? Last time I had one of each, it sure looked like the same filter with a different label. I've been using Bosch on my cars whenever possible for quite a long time.

  I almost ALWAYS use Mann filters, this one was a Bosch
  however.  The replacement is even worse, but I have no
  choice until the new case of filters comes in I'm afraid...
