Default RE: Oil pressure.

mine is 20psi hot, and 55-65 cruising over 2500rpm.
50 psi cold, I run amsoil 15w40 now with a bottle of synthetic lucas oil stabilizer.

I had 10w30 royal purple, but it made my engine knock.
and it turned really black after only 500kms.

Default RE: Oil pressure.

I just finished putting in some 20/50 GTX in it a bit ago. Oil pressure looks to be normal on the stock guage. Fluctuates a lot around town. I got on it a good time and it went up to about the half way mark. So I think I'm going to go ahead and replace the lifters with a set of stock replacements. Anyone know of a good/inexpensive place to get them?
