"Me I want that volume and pressure. I have never heard of oil wearing out a set of bearings (thats CLEAN oil). "



Too much oil pressure will pit bearings. Pictures of what that looks like are right on the wall chart from the bearing manufacturers.

EDIT:

I mistakenly called it "pitting" when it is referred to as "cavitation erosion" where the oil blasts away the surface of the bearing
