The pump is a melling high volume and the gears are stout. I'm running 10W40oil. If I can find some 5 weight I'll use it here in the winter. I REALLY don't want to drop the pan. Need to lift engine an inch and fight to get the pan off to remove the shims in the oil pump. The builder swears by the high pressure though and has never had a problem.
