6.0 Northern California earthquake
As I understand it the most dangerous fault in the area is the Hayward-Rogers which is historically due for a major quake. So the question is did this quake add or release pressure on that fault as it sits around 7 miles away (the epicenter).

It would have released pressure. Every quake near the Hayward releases pressure on it, which is a good thing.
