RE: LOW OIL (PSI)

what oil are you running? if you're running 5w-30 you could switch to 5w-40 you'd get a bump in pressure if you're lowing pressure due to increased tolerances in your wearings and what not.

yeah switch to 0w-40 and see if that helps. but before you do, you might as well seafoam it if you haven't done it before or if it hasn't been done for ~50k
