Best Answer

Oil pressure on these engines are lower than typical V8 gas engines. Their extremely close tolerances require a lower viscosity (thinner) lubricant to get in those tolerances. Lower viscosity results in lower pressure. It would be a serious mistake to try to get more oil pressure by using a heavier grade oil. You will get higher pressure, but only because your oil is not flowing through is intended route. Normal pressure for these engines when hot are: 6 psi at 1000 RPM--- 18 psi at 2000RPM--- 24 psi at 3000RPM. hope this helps!
