Ok..how is this for weird...I changed my oil type and...
My oil pressure went up! WTF?!
If you guys remember, after my engine rebuild my oil pressure dropped from 72 @ 3000 to 66 PSI, anddropped another 5 PSI when I went VTEC. The only thing different was the oil type, I used to use Mobil 1 with the stock B20Z and have been using regulat after the rebuild.
Well 3000 miles has passed and I switched back to synthetic last night...and my oil pressure went up! It was at around 60-61 PSI @ 3000 with regular oil and now its at 66-67 PSI!

Oil filter was good...its been only 1000 miles since last change.
Ive changed te oil many times since the rebuild, and every time it was 60 PSI @ 3000,,and now 67 PSI. Oh well, cant complain..Ill keep an eye on it.

Yep, Synth does build oil pressure in my experience as well. I still use regular oil though cause I'm not worried about the 5-6psi differnece i've seen in my cars with it.

Why are you people with other cars posting here? This is supposed to be the Integra Type R forum - for talking about the Integra Type R. If you want to talk about technical aspects of other cars, move it to the Tech forum.
