I have a 2010 Grand Sport C6 Corvette that is supercharged, cammed, and will run on E85.
I've noticed when the car is idling and hot, oil around 230F, the oil pressure is 18psi. When cruising the lowest it gets in 35psi and under throttle the oil pressure climbs as normal.
The car currently has 10w-40 conventional in it to break in all the new valvetrain and cam but I'm going to be changing it this week.
I was considering maybe bumping up the viscosity to a 15w-50 since i live in Texas and cold weather is never a problem. But I'm concerned the factory tolerances for the bottom end could be too tight for a heavier oil.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
