dude! :-)
that is high pressure
there is realy no reason to run oils of that thick a viscosity
most modern engines are running 5W30 friggin fords are runnin 5W20
this actualy reduces rotational drag improving milage & performance
when mnufacturers build engines for these thin oils the releaf valve spring tension is usualy a lil tighter as well as bearing clearances a lil tighter too
so when you add thicker oil the OP goes up
I see allot of older 2.0 saabs hiting 60-70PSI hot revving we tend to run a lil high on the pressure
also dude change your oil every 3-4Kmi I hear folks running synth & prolonging oil change intervals this is bad because carbon blowing past the rings is acumulative & happens over time so even if the oil is maintaining good lube qualitys you still have small particulates grinding up al your bearings
take care
JAK
