As my Oil Bar is showing a pressure reading that is well over 5, closer to 6/7 when driving, I am worried about the impact that this may have on my engine.
However I am beginning to think it’s more of a faulty switch as I just went for a drive and displayed 3/5 bar...Still going to change the oil to fully synthetic.
OMG. Didn't realise I still had this subscription for this thread.
As I remember there were no issues, but the reason I started using that grade was because Grant Parker who ran a 900hp golf with a 2.2 5cyl 20v and Audi 200 running gear reckoned it was a good idea. Maybe for him, yes, but for road, no, I realised.
Can't remember what I put in after that, as I sold it in 2014.
Now for road I always use Castrol fully synthetic at the the grade(ish) that is recommend. If it's 5w40, I will drop to 5w30, as it's cheaper.
There's a great you tube vid about oil viscosity, by that American engineer.
