What oil do you guys run and what oil pressure do you have at warm idle and at lets say 65mph? I'm running MOBIL 1 10w30 and I'm getting 40lbs. pressure at 65mph. Open to any suggestions and comments. Motor has almost 52k. mi. on it
Thanks Tarey D.:)
 
Rebuild with about 1500km . Idle (hot) - 15-20 psi , Highway (90 -100 kmh) 55- 60psi . Stared up 65 psi . 10w/30w Castrol GTX .Stock cover with booster plate and a few oil mods:).
 
I couldn't live with 40lbs. at 65 mph. I have about 50 to 55 at that speed. If you'd like to have more oil pressure, my suggestion would be at least move to 10W 40.

Myself, I run 5qts of 10-40 and the rest 50W on an oil change.

Another choice would be to install a booster plate or hi volume pump. Easier to try running heavier oil first. ;)
