Odd Oil Issue
#11
I ran Mobil 1 full synthetic 5w30 in my 150k mile 3.8. oil pressure was consistent 60+psi cold start up, 30psi when at operating temp and 80+ when WOT. My rod bearings/journals have normal wear on them, even after 6k miles of beating on the motor with a M112 on top.
You should change to 10w30, it may help seal the piston rings against the cylinder walls and reduce your oil consumption. Doesnt hurt to try and itll be better on the engine if you get hit with cold weather.

Ive used many oils over the years...Castrol in my Toyota, Kendall in my Trans-Am, and now Mobil and/or Pennzoil in my Mustang.
One oil I will NEVER use in anything is Quaker State. Worthless garbage. I learned from my father N law just what crap that one is. Foamy bastard oil.
