new oil i seen that mobile ones now has 0w-40 sytehctic oil.
are they trying to compete with the german casrol 0w-30?
also. my oil meter goes all over he place. most of the time it sits at 40 psi exact. someimes alitle higher. someitmes is drop a good bi under 40. what would cause this?

they prolly go on these boards and read which oil is most popular and since German Castrol 0w-30 is the oil everyone has at #1, then why wouldnt they want to have a product that would compete with it. And the gauge thing could be the oil pressure sending unit is starting to go bad.

All my stock LS1s with stock A4 idle speeds (A4 has a lower idle than M6, thus giving slightly less pressure at idle) have held anywhere between 25-35psi at warm idle depending on the conditions I listed above.
