oil pressure guage was at almost zero!

Running smoother and warming up faster are likely in your head, although depending on the viscosity it may happen.

On my 86 (2nd Gen) I was having my gauge read at near 0 and all I had to do was clean it. The clip had gotten a bunch of grime and such in there. I'm not sure the setup of the 1st Gen, but it's probably something good to check.

I actually did get an oil with a higher viscosity level since it's cooler here in Texas, than it was a couple of months ago.

Also, when readying my repair manual it noted cleaning the clip and wires that run near the oil pan to the guage.
