RE: high oil pressure
That is what pressure mine runs.
Thicker oil will "blow by" less.....the thicker you get the more load on the motor....to thick and it won't climb the crank.
My mother runs 20w-50 in every vehicle she's ever had and they all made it to 250,000 miles. They still ran but she traded in for a newer vehicle.
