Oil Pressure Switch ???

Well boys, old Smoke has turned 20k so I changed over to Valvoline Blue Extreme 5W40. Now a few of you were saying the oil pressure gage was just a switch. If it is, it is a darn good switch because it can tell the difference between 15W40 and 5W40 oil! On cold startup, oil pressure is about two &quot;needle widths&quot; lower with the synthetic 5W40 than what it was with the conventional 15W40. No significant change warm running down the road.<br> <br>The Boss Hog<br>(just the facts mam ;D)
