changed oils
ok I'll try to be brief, I have an 89 cpe with about 69,000 miles on it.
I had an oil change and changed to mobil 1 synthetic now my oil temp seems to stay around 220 and my engine temp stays in the 200's as high as 224. before changing oils my engine temps were around 185 to 205 the high. today while I was out driving I noticed when I was sitting at a red light my oil pressure was reading around 17 than went up to around 30 when I pulled away and climbed into the 40's as I was driving on the highway. So my question is, is this normal for synthetic oil or should I switch back to regular 5w30 oil. thanks in advance for any information that anybody has to offer.
