Hi all. I'm pretty new here so please bare with me if I'm asking
questions that have been discussed recently. I'm running 20W-50 Castrol
in my '73 Eldo. I was riding about 70+ down the highway yesterday in
nearly 90 temp. When I got home and idled the bike down (idle is set
pretty low) the oil pressure light would come on. Is this normal for a
well used bike? This is the first time the oil pressure light has come
on while running, I'm sure it's the hottest/hardest I've run the engine.
Thanks in advance. Ed Dyvig.
