Well. Unless you changed weight or put too much it shouldn't be jumping to 60 lbs. But synthetic is ok from what I've heard if. You "A" have always used sythetic or "B" have a brand new engine. Synthetic oil doesn't burn so there won't be any burn off. Plus. Theoreticly should never have to change the oil for that fact of no burn off. Just the filter though I would never ever test this. To be honest though. I think it just a matter of opinion.

I use valvoline high mileage synthetic blend and it works out just fine.
when is cold it has 40 psi when cold at idle. when it warms up it has 25 at idle and 55-60 when im driving. it has 204k on it too so your fine. i put just regular 10w30 in mine
From what im reading, it sounds like youre fine.
20-25 psi idle, 60 driving, right? That sounds good, my girlfriends 96 gets about the same on dino oil.
I run 10w40 Valvoline Maxlife Synthetic Blend.
My bearings are shot though and get 20psi on the gauge going 55mph.
