I have a 1996 chevy 1500 with the 350 5.7, it burns a little oil too. The oil pressure has slowly been getting worse over time, now when warm it only makes around 3-5lbs when idling. As embarrassing as it is, one time when I first changed the oil myself, I started it up with the drain plug out and backed it up to get the catch pan out from under it, could this have caused the issues to start?? Also, I run 10w-30 Parts Master oil and a Wix 51061. My question is will running 20w-50 fix my issues and keep the truck on the road? I don't want it blowing up.
