During these warmer days ( with the AC blasting) during idle my oil pressure was going down to 8 psi..YIKES.
I mentioned this to a buddy@ work ( fellow motor head) and he suggested the following.
Switch to Mobil 1 15-50 synthetic and if my oil pressure didnt increase by 10 psi@ idle he would buy me a case of it.
Well today I did an oil change & fram oil filter and it totally increased my idle pressure by 10 psi... now it's hovering from 18-20@ 500-550 rpm.
I'll give it a few days to see what's really up.
But talk about results WOW I'm impressed!
I was running Casterol 20-50 Dino-oil
