I have recently given my 89 mx5 (120000 km) an oil and filter change.
I used a Mazda filter (for the first time) and used a 15/50 oil rather than
the previous 10/40.
As a result, the oil pressure reads much higher - ie.cold start shows pointer
at max right of gauge, and maintains 4+ on gauge at normal running temp.
After a full weekend of open road mx5ing it remains on 4 (or a smidgen over).
I'd be interested to see how this compares with others, and any views as to
what makes the difference.
