I don't have any way of doing that. I will have to wait to see if I can drive it safely to my mechanics. Or get him to come here. Its 8 miles away and not on the easiest roads. I don't want to get into a situation where I have to blow the engine just to have it looked at. The oil pressure is the same as it was the day I picked it up. The original factory gauge is a little useless here I know and I am planning on getting some real gauges to monitor this puppy. It did go down a little when The w30 was put in. I would expect this as its a much thicker oil.
