why not try putting the correct oil in for starters??

I have always run 20w/50 in my 3.9 and its has NEVER ticked upon start up ever. Only does it after an oil change then gone after about 5 seconds.

i have a EF Fairmont aswell, but mines a 94 series 1 its done 180,000 kays now, i was getting concerned about the oil aswell, when i start it cold, she sits on half way, while being driven she sits on half, but at idle (almost evry idle) she sits on 1/4 but never below that, is that cause for concern? as my friends EL sits about 3/4 all the time, mines way less? is mine okay or is there something wrong? my temp never goes above the first marker and computer says 84deg but my friends el sits on 98deg, why is that? differant cooling? thanks guys!
