Nothing, it's the same thing. just refined a little closer to the

Yea, I've heard the wife's tail before, but I have a '89 honda that
has 225K miles with about 150K of it on synthetic so....

What about help for the problem though???

Re: Oil pressure drop at idle when engines warm, '96 4.0L JGC
 

Real Jeepers, Hot Rodders, and people that must depend on their
equipment, use a full set of gauges, Stewart-Warner, or Autometer. And
begin repairs as soon as their engine drop out of the safe zones, about
forty pounds hot idle for Ford or GM. Probably about half that from what
I hear for the the 1929 Nash six.
