The van has several oil damaging issues. I think it needs rings and the turbo's center section oil seals are shot. So I leaks oil, and the oil blackens very quickly. I think the synthetic might just be tricking my sending units. The oil pressure may be lower, due to the "slipperier" oil, but the lubrication is better so this loss of pressure as the gauge sees it might not really be bad. The numbers on the oil are confusing to me. 10w30 and 5w40 what do the numbers mean? I remember having it explained to me once, something about the first number being its viscosity cold and the second as it warms?
