In theory, thicker should be higher pressure.... BUT, I will take any ideas.
Thanks and let me know.

Actually thats why people use synthetic oil in gas engines in colder climates. cause it does not thicken up like conventional oil does, as far as your AE reading that sounds good to me. but I caught myself asking is the thinner oil at 600psi hitting those injectors like 600psi of a thicker oil would be ? But i just can't wait to see if that is the problem. I also called a Ford tech to confirm my father's idea ( sshhh don't tell him i did that..lol.) and he said the same.. The way the Tech explained is that it is more Volume+pressure, rather than pressure with a thinner substance meaning the pressure reading you are getting might not always be 100% oil. since it is thinner it's mix with more air and so on.. The tech didn't say all this word for word .. But it is what I interrupted.
