Did you use detergent oil or non-detergent oil. It sounds to me like you had a cub that was running non-detergent oil in it since there were large sludge deposits. Now that you changed the oil you probably put in detergent oil since it is the standard oil. What this means is that you are now starting to break free all of that sludge that is built up in that motor. I feel you should pull the pan and the valve cover inspection plate and thoroughly clean it. Most likely you have a plugged pickup tube for the oil pump. Drop the pan, get a screw driver and some solvents and start cleaning. Also, you will have to REGULARLY change the oil and the filter due to the extra slime and deposits that will now be circulating your system. Hopefully your bearings have not suffered too much damage due to the lack of proper oil. IF all of this does not result in higher oil pressure than further work may be required. Give it all a cleaning and report back what you find.
