it was leaking and everythign looks good. where do I go from here?? Im using all moto
craft 5W-20 synthetic and car has about 198,000 on it.

Thank you, but why the change to 5W30? I live in the north east so its cold but I wouldn't call it freezing.

that sounds better then replacing everything again. I know oil pressure guage is easy to get but I have never attempted to use one. Where will this thing attach and what psi should it be at?

Will do. Need to order it cause no one has one. 2 day shipping is twice the price of the part. Thanks for all your help.
