Perhaps they dumped some straight 80 weight in the oil tank. :nixweiss:

Nothing in the 110 engine "enhancement" program should affect oil pressure, you should still be running between 30 and 35 psi with the engine at normal operating temperature (230°F).  Either the gauge is screwed up, the weather has gotten a lot colder, or perhaps they managed to get some trash lodged in the pressure relief valve.  Whatever it is (other than cold weather), they need to fix it.
