Oil pressure is perfect when the engine is at temps. Basically getting close to 2X RPMS (3,000 RPM's = 60 oil pressure).
When the engine is cold I really have to short shift to keep pressure from pegging. As it gets cold outside I see this being a bigger issue.
So my question is, on a fresh engine is thick 20/50 oil really correct? Might a thinner 10/40 or less be more in line with new, tight bearings etc?
Thanks,

When cold, a multi-vis oil should act like a 20 wt. oil. How cold are your ambient temps?
If the oil pressure is pegging with 20-50, keep the rpms down until the engine has fully warmed up.
