Oil pressure question...I promise it's not another "who likes what' thread!

Two things you didn't mention. Oil filter type . That should be WIX or NAPA Gold. Another is converter stall. To low of a converter for a built motor will wipe the thrust bearing at idle in gear. While under pressure the converter is always pushing on the crank. The higher the stall the less the pressure. Exactly why you should never sit at a redlight for long periods with the clutch depressed on a stick car. Diaphragm clutches are easier on the thrust bearing.

Wix filters. PTC 9.5" converter..when I ordered it I remember Kenny saying "somewhere up around a 3500 with that setup".

That’s some pretty wide clearances for modern oils.

I’d look for a good 5w50 100% synthetic oil.

Yeah the thoughts of going to a synthetic did cross my mind, that stuff doesn't have as much a variance from cold to hot if I'm remembering..cold idle was up over 30.
