Smile Oil

If your pressure is 50 to 60 cold and 30 or more hot, you good. Rule of thumb is 10 lb for every 1000 rpm. If the motor is old and loose you can install a high pressure/ high volume oil pump. But a good high volume is all you need on a new motor. Melling makes a good one that sells for $50. Be sure to match your pick up to the oil pan.
