Regardless with 10lbs of pressure hot with a 40wt ....... good luck with a much thinner oilquote:

I once again agree with Motorbike...with such pressure running a forty-weight, I see absolutely no reason to use something thinner.quote:

Too low for my comfort still . Could be a worn oil pump from running thick oils in a cold climate all it's life . Might be bearings or both but too much to cover on a forum as it could yet be " one " more problem that's oil pump related .quote:

I have about 10 to 16 PSI pressure at 700 rpm idle and 25 to 30 PSI at 2500 rpm. (oil temp at 100C.)
