Gents,
I am not critiquing anyone's choice, I was just curios with what others are running. I like the higher pressure and it can get hot and muggy here in Columbus in the summer.
The Rotella
Synthetic works well and I never hear lifter noise. I do have small leaks around the valve cover and rear intake seal. No crank seal leaks. I know that from having the flywheel ring gear replaced last year.
Would it be accurate to state at running higher pressures you would have greater leaks? It seams like a double edged sword. If you run a lighter
oil it would thin out when warmer. That would seem to make it more prone to leaking. If a heavier
oil is used, it seems that pressures would be higher. Is it just me or wouldn't you want something in the middle? Not trying to start a conflict here. As a novice on this subject, I just trying to think if its worth trying something different.
