I may be crazy but I believe that oil psi depends on compression and
severity of operation of the engine. We ran a 16:1 compression up to 8300
rpm we preferred 40-60 oil psi. I have different lubes for different things
my favorite penetrating oil is KROIL by kano laboratory, kar products super
gel lube for cables,chains and roller assemblies it goes on like a thin
spray then gels into a light grease.

I'm sure I'll get corrected if I'm wrong, but the problem with cold oil is
not too much pressure, but the difficulty of the thick oil getting into the
tiniest of spots that need lubrication.  This may equate to "too high"
pressure, but is suspect, not necessarily so.
