In half an hour it is right back at the start of the yellow quadrant. I am no mechanic but I think filter and pump as the first place to investigate. Any comments? Only about 70 hours on the engine.

Just for curiosity do you notice more oil consumption when using multigrade oil that when using 100W? I notice that when my oil filter gets to be about 25 hr old oil pressure starts to drop and it is time to change everything. I get better oil pressure and longer when using the NAPA Gold filter than the Fram cheepo.
