About a month ago i changed my oil for some 5w-40 synthetic (doubt it was the "real stuff"). Since then, my oil pressure is a little less than it was before, its still well over 4 when coldish, but when fully warm and idling it drops to just over 1 :? .
The car sounds smoother and quieter, especially when cold, and because a lot of my driving is short journeys (up the shops or pub), i thought 5W might be a good idea
I guess the oil pressure is always lower if you run thinner oil :?: , but is this too low, and is the oil too thin, opinions please
BTW, ive read all of oilmans posts
Mods, sorry for the double post
