Bad Oil Pressure
My cars oil pressure is at 50 when idling cold. When it gets warm it idles at 18psi, revs up to about 30psi. This is on a mechanical oil gauge. Running straight 30 weight.
Re: Bad Oil Pressure
When the motor was built what were the main clearances? If tight, say .002, thinner oil will be better, if sloppy, say .0050, you want thicker oil.
