What oil do you put in a 1978 Honda Gold Wing?
Since this is an old bike the engine is likely to be worn. You can try single grade W 40 oil. If the engine is good and not so worn, use multi grade 10 W 40 oil, intended for motorcycles. Don´t use normal car engine oil. If the exhaust smoke is very black, then this indicates you should use a W 40 oil. However, if you are driving the bike in a cold climate, then use the 10 W 40 oil. Change oil every 2 or 3 thousand kilometers if the engine is very worn out.

What should your Oil pressure be on your 5.7 93 sub?
The exact number isn't as important as how much the pressure gauge fluctuates. Watch the gauge when the engine is first started. It should go up somewhere near the middle. That's the point at which the pressure bypass engages. Then watch the oil pressure after the engine warms up. If the oil pressure drops significantly AT AN IDLE when the engine is warm, you have worn main and/or rod bearings... but WORN doesn't mean WORN OUT. If the engine is still able to maintain oil pressure, even though it drops a little when warm, you can raise the oil pressure by changing to a heavier (thicker) grade oil. If you've been using 5W15, change to 10W30 or even 15W40. You'll be surprised at how much of a difference that can make.
