thats true bogg, you run into wind resistance ...BUT however the engine would have far better oil pressure in 5th gear at 130mph @ 5K rpms than 1st gear 5k rpms...More load equals alot more oil pressure...i think. You can hear it in the engine, Try coasting at 5k RPMs in first gear and then try coasting 5k RPMs in 3rd Gear....3rd gear sounds way more suttle and easier on the engine than 1st gears irratic engine noise...
1st gear may have high volume like all the other gears but less pressure under these conditions we are discussing.
