Yes.

Yeah, I'm running 20w-50 right now. It cranks harder when it's cold, of
course, but I haven't had enough trouble to cause me to switch to something
lighter for winter. Of course, now that I think about it, I try to avoid
driving it during the winter anyway so maybe that's why I don't have
trouble.

I'm pretty sure from what I've been hearing that my oil pump is on the way
out. I'll test the pressure sensors before I have it replaced, of course,
but it seems likely.

Thanks for the comments.
