30HXA T140 comp A1 oil pres alarm
Im relatively new to working on chillers and I have a new Carrier 30HXA chiller throwing a T140 alarm. The oil pressure difference is 47.4 psi for the filter. I was just wondering what causes could cause the filter to plug up. It recently had a leak and was only holding 76 lbs of the 186lbs it is supposed to hold and I was able to get it fixed but it had ran on that charge for roughly 3 months. Could this have caused oil degradation or unnecessary wear on the compressor? I know I need to replace the oil filter and maybe even the internal oil filter, but should I do a complete oil change and also send off a oil sample to ensure there isnt bigger issues causing this? Thank you all for any help!

Oil is hydroscopic in this machine, depending on leak it may be contaminated. Internal and external need replacement every year.
