Dave, I previously used Valvoline Racing 20w-50, and my oil pressures were 80 psi and above cold AND at RPMs above 3K warm, and only down to about 50 psi at warm idle. I switched to Rotella 15w-40, and they dropped about 10 psi on each end, which I felt more comfortable with, particularly at cold start-up.

Thanks Rick, it was your previous excellent research on solid flat tappets cams that motivated my change last year.
