        At the risk of stirring up an impassioned debate, the hot idle
oil pressure is heavily affected by the type and viscosity of the oil
you use. If you are using the factory recommended oil, then it seems a
bit low. If, like me, you are using something like 10W-30 or even 5W-30,
then you are fine.

Hello,

The winter project season has started - snow's in the forecast for later
this week.

<snip>

-        most of my reading suggests 15-20lbs hot idle is low --- is
there a
specific circumstance that would cause that?

<snip>

Any suggestions/recommendations would be appreciated.
