I run 10w-40 Castrol GTX in my 7MGE, seems to be just fine, Change the oil every 4500km's, Use normally just a cheap Fram Filter, Is this fine to use for daily driving? I can get Rotella 10w40 aswell for the same price, sadly its not easy to get a better filter.
My oil pressure is weird, When I first got the car I remember it being higher but I didnt really watch it for a few thousand km's and its never been in the same range since. I have a metric gauge so heres what it reads: Idle, cold: 2.0-2.5kg/cm2, Idle, Warm: .07-1kg/cm2, 3000rpm: 2.2-2.5kg/cm2.. I rarley ever see it any higher than that, It slowly works its way up to 2.7-3.0kg/cm2 if im driving it hard, just weird inconsistency doesn't seem right to me, especially now that im using a higher quality/"thicker" oil than when I bought it.
