oil type
 

what kind and weight oil are you guys and gals running?

Val. Max life 10w30

is 10w 30 wat they call for

Valvoline Maxlife Semi Synth 10w40 for my old tired motor.
40psi cold, 20 psi warm according to the gauge.

shell rotella 15w-40

really how is that for you

awesome. i love rotella oil, i run the syn 5w-40 in my subaru. i have to run slightly thicker stuff bc i have not-so-great rings in the 4.0.. but i've never had a problem with it and i run it year-round, just gotta be easy on it til it warms up a bit. i used to burn a lot of oil off but the thicker stuff doesnt burn as easy, and it quieted down the valvetrain a whole lot.

i need something thicker cuz i out 5w 30 in for some reason and when it warms up i have really low pil pressure

give it a shot. i ran 5w-30 last winter and i burnt off all 6qts in 2 weeks.

I used Castrol GTX straight 30w, 219,000, 60psi at 2000rpm and 40 at idle...Tj

Penzoil 10W40.

delo 15-40

Rotella 5w-40 semi syn diesel. It flows good at 0 degrees and has all the good stuff for the flat tappet cam.

kool thanks guys

Im running val. max life 10w30 now. Mines got 180k on it. I just started using it and ive noticed a difference in my oil pressure. I used to use penzoil 10w30 and i was pushin 80psi running and 40psi at idle. Now its running 60psi at 55mph and 40psi at idle. Thats what the gauge is tellin me anyway.
