Driven the car alot and its still holding almost 30 at hot idle. Looks like the synthetic rotella is holding up alot better then the cheap auto zone 5w30.

Long as it stays there, and no metal in the filter I wouldn't worry about it.

Hot is a relative term. Engine hot and oil hot are 2 different things also. Idle rpm plays a huge part in it also. At 900 rpm hot (after 20 min of driving over 220* ect) I'm at 20 with 15-40 Delvac and 22 ish with 20-50 Valvaline. I thought I may have hurt a bearing as it used to idle at 30 ish but I think its just running hotter now in the summer. Really need to address ECT though. New radiator is cooling worse than the stock one was.

if ur concerned about oil pressure i would reccomend running mobil1 15 50 with the hp2006 mobil1 filter. this increased my oil pressure around 5-10psi. Compared to when i ran mobil1 5 30 with the regular length filter. On my Motor i get 55ish on idle and 80psi+ at WOT. BAUCE
