Thank you very, very much. I appreciate your advice and will let you know how it works out.

I would recommend the heavier oil, especially in the summer.

Although the oil pressure you are getting is obviously enough for the engine as it is right now due to the fact that it is not overheating or causing you any other trouble. If you really are troubled by the oil pressure you could replace the oil pump with a high pressure/high volume pump but it would be a waste of money.
