Oil weight 10-40 Castrol, engine (short-block) has roughly 15 miles on
it now (speedo not hooked up). 

I am using MANN oil filters. 

Oil pressure got really low today during it's first drive, revving only
produces 3BAR at most (4K is the highest it's revved due to break-in). I
need to fix this ASAP, as I'm not ruining my new engine w/ low oil
pressure, but I need my car back. 

Thanks again for the help.
Joshua


Check your owners manual, 10w40 is too thin this time of year.

Where are you located? 

I use 20w50, w/Mann filters...
