Really?

With almost ever car or motorcycle I have ever owned and all the brands of oil, I recall at least 10-15psi less oil pressure after the vehicle and the oil get hot....I gotta put something in there, I couldn't just kiss every oil manufacture goodbye....Just sayin... Not every car and bike I have owned was a beater, I even bought brand new several few times, though I probably won't be doing that again as a wage worker. I've also used synthetic oil exclusively in some of my motors....that, too seems to get less viscous as the temperature climbs to 180f... D. Hanson
