    Oil Pressure

    Just got back from a round trip Milton Keynes to Doncaster and back, noticed that the MPG is great when traveling at 80 odd MPH on the motorways (in 6th gear0, but I am concerned that the oil pressure gauge was reading between 5 and 6 for most on the way???

    Is this telling me something costly is on the horizon?

          15W50 for me, W60 is better for track cars due to increased temperatures, W50 is fine on the roads.

            Why not 10w60 on the road? In my mind its the best suitable viscosity in moderate/hot climate? a 15w50 i thicker when its cold and thats what a daily driver usually is when its fired up.

              15W50 and 20W60 only needed at high power applications...

              ...5W50 and 5W40 fits an all standard and chipped applications...

              ...10W60 -- some people reporting oil sludge...
