Question STS gurus inside please
I just installed my STS and have a question about the engine oil pressure. Before STS pressure was between 40 and 60 all the time. Now the pressure is between 30 and 40. Is this normal? I'm a little concerned (don't want to have engine problems). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

My oil pressure didn't change. I've also run several different weights to find the best. So far a 5w40 has seem good and dino oil thins out to much.
