There may be a clog I an oil passage leading from The filter back through the block to the top end. There are oil additives that could he'll sort this mess out, just go to your local auto parts store and ask about additives that help dissolve built up gunk. If that does't work, you may just have to tear the whole engine apart and clean every oil passage out, check for deformed gaskets and seals and all kinds of sh¡t. Kind of surprising I've always thought the 318 was a a strong reliable engine.
