Nothing that I'm worried about but after my oil change yesterday my oil pressure gauge is reading higher values when the engine is warmed up. Before I used the Honda/Motorex synthetic stuff 0W/40 that was mixed by our local oil producer and is sold by Honda dealers. Now I'm using Mobil 1 0W/40 fully synthetic.
The gauge was 1 bar at idle before and now is at 2 bar, at about 4k rpm it's 6.75 instead of 6 bar. I've replaced the oil filter with the OEM one and nothing else changed except for the valve adjustment.
Higher pressure means normally thicker oil, no?
