Does the viscosity of a liquid affect pressure?

As the title suggests, does the viscosity of a liquid affect pressure? Personally, I don’t think so, but I can’t explain the specific reason. Experts, please share your thoughts
This refers to flow rate and pressure drop; for the same flow rate, the higher the viscosity, the greater the flow pressure drop. But conversely, for materials with high viscosity, a lower flow rate is chosen.

Pressure is a measure of the force acting per unit area, and it falls under the category of gravity. And viscosity is the intermolecular force. However, pressure has a certain effect on viscosity.
No way. In summer, to increase the lubricating oil pressure, we changed from 46# oil to 68# oil based on the original setup, which resulted in an increase in oil pressure.
