Oils can also be a wild topic here, but I think most folks are using modern 10-30 or 15-40 depending on climate and use. Next.....
No, not a new engine, mileage is unknown. Runs like new one. Oil pressure with stock gauge at hot idle is just off the peg, at 30 MPH it is about in the middle which would be 20 psi. I do need to check with a mechanical gauge.
Thanks for the helpful response.
