Greg,

The manufacturer recommended oil is 20w-50. My 1275 has been completely 
rebuilt, 
and at startup, I have about 80-90lbs pressure at idle, after the engine is 
'hot' it settles down to around 40lbs at idle, and around 60lbs at cruising 
speed. My figures may be a little higher than standard, however, since I have 
all new bearings, and a 'precision' sure-flow oil pump installed.
