I was having a problem getting a plain mineral engine oil for my truck so as a stop gap I used a semi synthetic,problem was the oil pressure dropped by nearly 15psi!
Fine when cold but as the temperature rose it was getting dangerously low at idle.

I rectified the problem this morning with 'proper' oil and a new filter for my engine,I'm pleased to report all is back to normal...
