My '88 used to live life at 40psi pretty much all the time. I couldn't get any 5 qt jugs of Castrol 5W50 so I went with 10W30 this last round and I switched my oil filter from Fram engine destroyer to Wix engine saver.
On the XJ and the ZJ my oil pressure has risen to levels I've never seen before- most dramatically on the XJ. It starts off cold at around 60psi now and then drops down to 40 after it's warm. I had a spare oil pressure sending unit and swapped it in to check and they both agree my oil press. is now higher.
I'm a little concerned and wonder if you guys have any thoughts or wisdom. Thanks.
