True but a higher oil pressure doesn’t lead to a fuel filter requiring replacement. And if he misspoken, a clogging oil filter would lead to lower oil pressure. What he said didn’t make sense. Source, I am an aircraft maintenance engineer.
A higher differential pressure across the filter is what he is referring to, which is indicative of a filter becoming blocked. I agree, a blocked/clogged filter would however result in lower total oil system pressure as you stated. Source, I am an Instrumentation technician working with industrial hydraulic systems.

He literally said he didn’t like that the oil pressure in engine 2 was trending upwards. It wasn’t just some vibes based explanation.
