I have always used 20/50 oil in my GMC. Cold the old pressure reads just under 50 psi. Warm it reads a little over 35 on hot days. If the out side temperature is not hot the oil pressure gets close to 40 psi. I have been afraid to go to lower viscosity oil. Today I had to go to three stores to find 20/50 oil. I was thinking of going to synthetic oil 15/40 in the future.

I add Liquid Moly to the oil. I have used the Moly since the late 50’s.
