Well good news from the oil analyses, and the engine inspection. No coolant in the oil, and the engine looks fine for 150+thousand miles. Now I can take the money I've saved for major engine work or replacement and put it toward some cooling system work / enhancements. Anyone have any cooling system upgrade advise?

Just skipped ahead after I read valvoline high milage. i work at a shop that usese that, recently(within ia few months) We have seen alot of valvoline high milage oil cause low oil pressure. Also, do u know for a FACT that they put 10 40 in it, I am only asking cause we dont stock, or get 10 40 high milage, just 10 30, 5 30, and 5 20. Change the oil again, YOURSELF with conventiol oil.

I do know for a fact that it is 10w40 valvoline high milage. "They" did not do the last oil change, I did, and that is what I used.
