So before i changed the oil , when the car is warm and i would drive it for a few miles, than stop. The oil pressure would drop( light comes on a few seconds til the engine revs back up. So a changed the oil, that problem stopped. Now with starting the car cold, the oil pressure stay low for about 10 mins. You almost have to drive the car clacking up a hill than the pressure comes up. Is the a priming issue i'm missing with this. Car 87 944 N/A.
I'm wondering if the 20W50 is too thick a weight for the ambient temp.

Some people try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
