Hey mate forget the idiot light & put in an oil pressure gauge by the time the light comes on the damage is done. For the age of the motor use 15-50w or 20-50w. But make sure you are using a top quality oil filter as the inferior filters have a dodgy bypass on them & let dirty oil through & also restricts the oil flow to vital parts & cause knocking which in the long term will stuff your motor

Changing to 20-60 penrite resolved my issue!

20-50w / 20-60w should be used on all motors IMO
