Oil pressure gauges are very interesting when installed on a Model A. Cold engines in cold weather can show 15 psi or more until the engine warms up and the pressure drops considerably. Synthetic oil appears to maintain a pound or two higher pressure than conventional oil in a warm engine. Add an oil filter and the pressure maintains an even higher reading.
