And, if you wondered, yes, we did change the hose design years ago to a 90 degree fitting at the compressor and relocated the pressure switch on a T several inches toward the back.

That’s more or less what mine seems to be doing… maybe the OP can post a pic of his situation. I don’t need an oil change just yet but I’m halfway thinking of spinning my oil filter off just to see how it works.
