Oil pressure question
Just a thought, When oil is cold its thicker, therefore resulting in a higher oil pressure. When it gets heated up it becomes thinner and oil pressure goes down. Well I was wondering, if I used an oil that has a higher viscosities when it warms up will my oil pressure be higher ? Just wondering, I might of got a couple things backwards but hopefully you guys get the idea.

I do use good oil, and I have good oil pressure, it was just a thought and was wondering if it was true.

Yes, your oil pressure should increase slightly if you replace your with a higher weight oil. But higher viscosities will slow down the revving of the car depending on how high you go.

Yeah, I know, this thread was just like a curious thread. I started thinking about it and was wondering if there was any truth to it.

Yes, but there is no need to with an engine in good condition.
