I am running 10w-30 in it. I know that is not what is called for, but I have about 50 quarts of it laying around so that's what I've been using. I am also wondering if I am truly getting 35 psi at idle. The gauge I used is one that was laying around my dad's shop. I have no idea how old or accurate it is. I think my next step is to get a new gauge, hook it up and check again. If I truly am getting 35 psi at idle do you think that is something I should be worried about? What should I check first?
