Message	I run almost 5 quarts 15w30 in my Z... its rather cold outside at the moment (30s) and when I start my Z it sits around 90-100 psi at start up. When I start driving it gets up just under 120... but I never go over 3krpm until its dropped below 90psi driving. Once it warms up, it drops to the normal 60psi while driving, 30psi idle. I've found my Z tick/taps/etc more when I only run the "suggested" levels of oil.
