Normal - My pressure runs the same with 10/30 high mileage oil.

That's normal too as long as it moves toward E. If it moves towards F, you should never sell the truck. Might want to invest in some above ground storage tanks to catch all the gas it's making.

i dont even look at my guages any more....

my oil bounced around all the time, was never consistant....well that started about 15K ago.....but since i have put in Mobil 1 full synthetic advanced formula 10w30 with some expensive bosch filter thats rated for 10K miles.....and my oil has been consistantly 40 idle, and around 55-60 revving.....started about 150 miles after the oil change getting consistant...and its been over 2K, and been consistant the whole time.


as for gas, when i hit my breaks, it will go from a quarter of a tank to 3/4....and if i accel, it would go from 3/4 to about a 1/4......so i have 1/2 tank fluctuation constantly.....when it stops bobbing, i know i need gas
