Odd problems. Peak Oil pressure should not be significantly affected by temperature or oil weight. What is it? Lower viscosity oil is not a solution. Are you sure the instruments are right / calibrated?

I am having a problem getting my oil temps up and oil
pressure down without an oil thermostat. Will try blocking some of the air
flow this weekend. Is 10W-40 or 10W-30 to light for the gearbox during
the winter months? I plan to run the engine for at least 20 hours on the
ground and switch back to Mobil 1 for first flight.

Tracy,
What oil do you recommend for breaking in a
new engine that is also acceptable for the gearbox? Bruce T said
to replace the Mobile 1 for 10-15 hours so the apex seals will seat.
Thanks,
