I had a newly acquired Perkins diesel. I didn't like the oil pressure. I kept increasing the viscosity (wasted a lot of oil) and the last two changes were 15w-40 and finally straight 40, all within a couple of days. Yes the 40 held up about 5 psig more gauge pressure under the same conditions. Problem now is that in the winter I have go go back to something thinner. So the next change I just went back to the 15w-40 and remained. Wasn't all that much difference.
