    My oil pressure runs at 60psi and then drops to 40 from what i read this is to high I run straight 30 weight. If i go to 10w 30 or 5w 20 will this improve this . I think the high pressure is causing seal problems.

    You should try 10w30 oil, it won’t hurt anything and will reduce your oil pressure when the engine is cold.  Are you sure that your gauge is accurate?
