pressure trouble
hey yall. got a 91 f-150 302. i let my brother drive my truck for like 2-3 weeks while i drove my other truck. apparently he had put in too much oil...idiot. but anyways, now that IM drivin her again i gave her a belly full of new oil (perfect amount 
) and new filter. but now my oil pressure is very low! it does have 180,000mi. but this is a little bit of a drop from before! what could have happened here? im going to put some of that engine treatment stuff in my oil tomarow and see what happens. it says it helps high mi. trucks restore compression, help rings etc.. so what yall think? im peed off about this! 
thanks

i dont think your brother overfilling it has contribtueted to the low oil pressure. what weight oil do you have? what is your oil pressure before and after your brother drove it? that oil treatement stuff will not help your oil pressure go with 15-50 oil if all else fails.
