Welcome to FTE!

Stick around, you'll get all the knowledge you would ever want.

Besides the GPR and GP issues, your weight of your oil will affect your cold start conditions since oil is needed to fire your injectors. If you are living in a cold climate, you may want to switch to synth oil (Rotella 5w-40) or equivalent for easier starts. Good luck.

Sounds like an IPR problem to me. Xover will not fix this problem.
