Normal? really? It usta bounce around right nice
before I put the car in storage Now it just kinda
sticks up there at 3.
Another piece of the puzzle is that I ran non-desiel

Ya, I think I might have mixed the oil

feind, so I started dumping in gas station oil.
Different makes of oil, and I always try and run
10-30, but am sure I mixed viscosity at some

Not sure if it's running at six, don't think so (
it's not running low, that is for sure... Jumps right
up there and never comes down...)
I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something I've
