do you mean 10W40? I wouldn't switch to 15W40. Get your pressure tested again. Just because you aren't in the range doesn't mean your oil pump is good.

There is not really much of a difference between 15w40 and 10w40 besides 15w40 in general being better tougher oils that shear less (less viscosity improvers needed). They are the same viscosity at operating temps and not that different at startup temps.

As far as cold idle pressure someone can double check me but 15psi is fine. I am getting all my oil pressure and temp gauges tomorrow so I will see for myself.
