RE: IML: Oil Pressure

["Woolf,Richard T(Contractor)" <richard.woolf@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was talking to some mechanics about oil weight. All of them said to use
the 30W. They were saying the older engines have larger clearances, and the
straight 30 weight would be the best choice. I use 30W in all of my older
cars except my '64 Ford Galaxie which has a race motor, so I use straight
40W racing oil.

Subject: IML: Oil Pressure

>>>>  Please read the confidentiality statement below  <<<<

I changed the oil in my '65 Crown a few days after I bought it.  Afterwards,
it took a while for the pressure to come up.  It took so long I was getting
very nervous.  I started it, let it idle, shut it off.  Finally I drove it
about a ½ mile.  The engine had a clicking sound, like a lifter or
something, then suddenly the pressure popped up to normal, and all is well.
I used Valvoline 10/40.  Should I use straight 30W?  Why would the pressure
take so long to come up? The oil pressure on this car is great, always stays
in the normal range.  Any thoughts?

Thanks, Tony
