I recently went to Mobile 1 oil 10W30 since my engine was broken in 5000 miles. Well I just notice about 2 weeks ago that at speed i'm reading about 30-33 at 4000 RPM (55psi at start up). I have autometer electric gauges. I was thinking to get a direct pressure gauge to verify. I'm also using FRAM oil filter. Somebody said that motorcraft had better flowing characteristics?? I was running Castrol 10W30 and had about 40 psi at 4000 which seems right. The only other thing i've done is gone to steel braided lines on the remote oil filter unit. The engine was a professional rebuild and has 8500 miles on it now. I'm not noticing any loss in performance or increased engine noise. Times at the 1/8 mile track are actually improving... Any thoughts are welcome...thanx
