Default Re: Low oil pressure

15/40 oil restricts oil flow to the bearings which makes them run hot, Wit stock clearances 10/230 is best. I'm gona start running 5/20 synthetic. Hi pressure creats heat when it has to blow off the relief valve. If your pressure is to hi go to a thinner oil, the bearings will love ya.
