8N oil change

[Vacherie]

I changed oil and filter on my 8N today. Previously the oil pressure was 15 to 20 while running and sometimes even lower. I used 40wt oil and my eyes popped out when starting and the pressure hit 60. It settled at 40 at 3/4 speed and when idling it stayed at 20. It was a good day. I don't know what was in it when I bought it.
