LOL, John, you know this topic was from 2004 right?

Anyway, yes. 99% chance when this happens its bearings.

It's 2025 and cam across this, talk about not knowing what your talking about...lol

First: idle oil pressure is fine at 25psi
Second: guys run 45psi at WOT and have zero issues, it all about oil flow. Sticking thick oil doesn't do anything but restrict flow, this us why pressure goes up but flow goes down. I bet you trashed your motor in 5 years. Don't listen to this guy. Jeepers. 15w50 is laughable.
