And if you use something other than 10w-30 which is specified by the 1g dsm users manual, why did you switch?

Reason I ask, is my oil pressure is a little on the low side, which isn't too surprising for a high mileage dsm, and i've been thinking about switching to 10w-40 to boost it a bit until i get around to swapping out the oil pump. Is that a terrible idea?
