1st Oil Analysis time?
I have over 6k miles and run Redline 5W20 (going on a full year). Based off how often I drive I'll be conducting yearly oil changes with 5W-20 (not the 5W-30 because that may be too thick for winter time); plus I have lifetime warranty so sticking with the proper weight would potentially save me...- NY Andrew

MAJOR Oil Pressure Problems.
Almost two months ago, I was driving my dodge. Riding down the road, and noticed that my oil pressure gauge was slightly below the middle line. Mind you I was riding on 95 doing about 70.
