[QUOTE="David-Karratha, post: 654533, member: 22207"] Regular oil changing is probably the most important issue. For older non turbo engines, the mineral/synthetic argument isn’t quite so important, particularly if you’re changing the oil relatively frequently. Providing your engine is getting oil to the bits that need lubrication, and sending plenty of oil to the areas that need cooling, I wouldn’t worry too much about small changes in oil pressure. Changing oil viscosity will certainly change the oil pressure as indicated on the gauge, but that doesn’t necessarily indicate better or worse engine lubrication, it‘s just indicating how easy or hard it is for the oil pump to push the oil through the engine. Change the oil regularly, feed it clean fuel, and don’t try an make too many more horses than it was designed to make, and the engine should keep ticking along for many more km’s. [/QUOTE]
