Low oil pressure reading

so we reckon fuchs 10w 40 would be best then? I remember my old 7a running on synta gold and with 200k on the clock ran sweet

If you have reading what JP says about oil and it is:,, 5w 40,, all day long you gonna have your answer to your dilemma m8!LOL!

Andy if it helps I run Fuchs Titan SuperSyn 5w40, good value for money fully synthetic IIRC about £25 for 5L

Another thing

You said it had been standing for 3 yrs? Is the battery new then?
My pressuregauge varies with the voltage from the battery a bit, it may be that you have low batteryvoltage after sitting around for 3 years

ah right ok i will go 5w 40 then (only because i read on this thread that 5w and 10w the same-ish)
i put a brand new battery on-good theory though

alex that sounds like a plan to me
