I use to run castrol full synthetic 10w-30 with oem filter on my daily stock ka , and noticed weird oil pressure reading for a while on my autometer oil pressure guage. Noticing after an oil change their was aluminum or cast iron specs in my oil. I had a magnetic drain plug and none of it stuck to it so i was assuming it was from the head beeing tht is aluminum i belive? , rebuilt the oil pump and have been running rottella T6 and runs smoother then ever still flushing out some flakes but it runs great.
So i dnt know if it was jus old oil pump going out or castrol destroying my oil pump but im sticking to rotella T6 best Bang for you buck!

So i am still confused about the situation ima b doing a oil change this weekend hopefully theres no more specs in the oil.
