Find another mechanic. The higher the viscosity, the greater the
resistance to flow.  More resistance = higher pressure.

Subject: oil pressure

Perhaps one or more of you know the answere to this:

Does either thick or thin oil give the engine more oil pressure or
doesn't it matter?

I thought thicker oil say 20/50 weight created more oil pressure, but a
mechanic told me that thinner oil, say 10/30 actually gave the engine
more pressure.

Thanks for the help,
