filled to the hump on the dipstick like normal (RB26's tend to drop oil press under boost if oil level is between the hash marks on the stick, it'll shoot to 80psi, then fall off. fill to hump of stick? no drop off).
so far, you're not that far off kevin with your observations... oil psi took a jump...
idle - 25-28psi, up from 20-22psi
cruising - 50psi, up from 40-45psi
WOT/full boost - 80-85psi, up from 75-80psi
cold starts? all i gotta ask if it's okay to hit 100psi at a taking it EASY 3k LOL...
other than that, not really noticing a big difference... powerband feels a bit smoother, engine is a bit quieter, turbo seems to be uneffected, although spools a little smoother...
could just be fresh oil making run a bit nicer, i mean, it's been 3200 miles since I've changed it.
