Default Couple quick oil related questions

1: what is the easiest place on the lq4 block to get a oil temp reading for my autometer guage.

2: what are some normal oil pressures I should be seeing from an lq4 in various rpm ranges

3: the motor is reaching 100k what is your suggestions on motor oil weight?

I'm also curious if the standard autometer temp sending unit will thread into the t56 somewhere easily.

You could remove the galley plug on the lower driver side near the timing cover, put in the correct thread size plug and then screw in your 1/4" temp sender.

5w-30 high mileage (apparently has some additives that are supposed to help out with a more mature motor)
