Ignorance is bliss, at least for a while. My worn 1.9 with 140k miles runs 5-8 psi idle after a run on the freeway, and 22-26 psi at 3000 rpm when hot with Mobil 1 15w-40. Pressure is 60 psi at cold start up. This is in nice temps, about 70 degrees, and mostly flat terrain. I knew it was bad, but I just want to get another 2000 miles out of this engine, and I'm staying on the NW coast this summer to avoid long climbs and hot weather. I wonder if 20w-50 would boost it a little. STP? Or just forget about it? What do you think? Stuart
