Re: Low Oil Pressure

Well i'm running 10w-30 high mileage w/ some additive stuff (8 cylinder treatment stuff supposedly seals cylinder walls)...I was debating running 20W-50, I know that's not what the engine is designed for, but I have interchanged 10W-30 and 20W-50 in my 3000GT with the only result being a difference in oil pressure (and I stopped burning oil when I went thicker, it calls for the 20W-50).

Well i'm kinda relieved that someone else has that low of pressure. Does anyone know of any bad side effects of running 20W-50?
