*update* ok guys so today i did an oil change and i went from 10w-30 to 20w-50 and a can of engine restore and when i took the car out the oil pressure was at the normal hight the "r" on normal which im pretty excited about cuz it was down on the "l".. i drove it until it got to operating temp and it stayed in the same spot! it used to drop as the car got warm.. i hope it stays this way! and the hot summer doesnt help the oil thickness either lol

93 LX FiveO

thats about as thick as diesel oil...

haha well they either had that or 5w30 10w30 or 10w40 and i wanted a thicker than 10w30 lol

well tonight i floored it and did a small donut and brought it up to like 5600 ish and then after it was lower again but not until that and that was after ive been driving all day... i give up maybe tomorrow it will be better

i would use 10w 30 and lucus, the lucus will not only bring up you pressure a tad it will also help against metal to metal contact if it is actually getting low pressure

oh i also used a can of engine restore.. not lucas tho..

pro tint

engine restore will help fill in fine scratches, lucus is very thick and leaves a nice slippery film on the metal. they are both great products and I use them on mine every oil change. that "RESTORE" does wonders but you have to use it every time now
