Thanks all,

I am going to change the filter and oil. I will install 20w50 oil. I have been searching some old threads on oil pressure. My general sense is that my pressure at 37 at 2200 or 2300 rpm is not that bad. I was hoping for more!! People throw around this 10lbs per 1000rpm ratio. My pressure dropped to the 37 after the engine temp came up so that 10w30 oil I have in there was to thin. My question is...do I need to worry is 37 adequate for a street car. I do not yet know what pressure I will have at idle...Every new step opens up many more questions. Let hope the oil change solves all these questions.

Thanks, will keep you informed

John
