A little higher would be better. I know in the owners manual of the b2x4 series cars it says to run a 15w-50/20w-50 weight when in climates over 60 F outside. I doubt you'd see any complications of the sort running the higher viscosity which would also give you better pressure as it is more capable of holding its own as the oil cooler experiences diminished cooling capacity with the higher temps outside.
I’ve heard the oil filter sandwich plate isnt the most accurate place to take pressure readings.
The ‘correct’ location to install is where the oil pressure switch is, on the block near the starter.
Its harder to install the sender but not too bad. You’d need about $30 to $40 of AN adaptors and hose.
If done right you can still keep the stock oil switch too.
WIS says 36.25 psi at 2000 rpm.
It doesn’t list any values for idle oil pressure.
I get 18 to 20 psi warm idle.
I would like to test an 5w50 Oil, but i cant find a Fully Synth here in Germany.
And all the people talk about that Mobil1 ......thats why i´m using it.
I would prefer to use a cheaper thicker fully Oil, and change it all 5000miles.:wink:
