The oil pressure was actually reading a lower before I changed the oil. Don't
know what kind the PO had in it, but it didn't look like a synthetic.
At normal driving speed the pressure seems pretty good, and it isn't leaking
any more oil than it was before.
I went with the Mobil 1 after doing a lot of reading on the web about
synthetic-vs-non, and after some recommendations from local (non-Brit)
car-experts who I trust.
But any advice from people who've tried both would be very helpful.
