 Well, then explain to me why a Bugeye I had back in the 70s would read 60 =
PSI at speed when the proper amount of oil was in the engine.=C2=A0 At one =
quart low, it would read 40 PSI at speed.=C2=A0 Put in a quart and the pres=
sure would go right back up to 60 PSI.=C2=A0 It amounted to a rolling oil c=
hange with intermittent filter changes.Mike MacLean
