oil change
hey guys, just wanted to find out if there was a good psi level to shoot for...just changed my oil to 20/50 and it seems like the psi is at a higher point than before...anyone have an opinion?

Overly high pressure is better than low.

60psi to 70psi is enough normal.

Mazda says 64-78psi at 3000rpm. Check it with a decent mechanical gauge, not the stock POS!
