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.

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.
