Think about this fellows, oil pressure whether two pounds or 35 pounds is pressure which means no part is starving. Cummins diesel says too much oil pressure is power robbing thats why they used to keep their oil pressure down. Now if you have ring blow by that's different some heavier oil might help to reduce that and if anybody has had an engine with chrome rings ie; some 856's and my 1967 Ford Fairlane 390GTA 375hp at idle used some phenomenal oil till you ran it like a wild man. I had to use straight 50W in my Ford which made it great to start in the winter. The 856 used to use a quart every other day hauling manure during the winter but put it on the plow and it wouldn't use a drop and while idling in the barnlot loading the spreader it was always putting out white smoke.We would ask the dealer and he would say chrome rings what can I say?2 cents
