Is there a definitive "correct" oil pressure for a TD? I use 20/50

Steve, the workshop manual for the TD sez that "normal" oil pressure is 40 to
45 psi. That was not with multigrade oils but SAE 30 wt. I'd say your TD
is about normal. Whats the pressure when motoring down the road and the
engine is hot? Mine runs 45 to 50 (now that I've rebuilt my rocker assembly)
when hot and under load and drops to about 30 when hot and idleing....I use
20/50 Castrol too.
