oil burn?

I think the Restore thinned out the new oil some. As long as the oil pressure doesn't go into the red zone, you will be fine.
I have noticed with fresh oil changes, the OP will be real high, but after several weeks, the OP will average around 40.

While thinner oil flows better through a dirty engine'* smaller passages, it also flows better out of any leaking spots you may have. Keep an eye on your dipstick and your parking space.
According to my Haynes manual, with straight 10W30 oil, a Series I motor like yours should be running minimum 37 psi at 2400 rpm. Otherwise, it might be overhaul time.

Unless he'* specified somewhere else, he has a Series II in that 95 of his. And according to my 1995 GM FSM, 60PSI @1850 RPM using low 30 oil. That'* about what I usually see on a fresh oil change.

Ok, so when i get the chance ill actually change the oil. It must be the additive that lowered it, I didnt see any leaks when i went out to check and i checked my parking spot when i got to school yesterday after this whole thing occurred but that doesnt mean that i didnt miss anything.

Ooops, my bad, according to Wikipedia, the L36 was the only Series II in 1995, the L67 came out in 1996.
