I tried 30 weight, then went to a Penrite 20W-60, its great and is a multigrade that intended for use with older engines, great idle oil pressure.
Google "Penrite" and see how you go. Adrian |

X3 on the Rotella 15w40,I was running the non-detergent 30 but the oil pressure was really low in the summer. The Rotella got me a few more psi when hot and it seems like some of the oil leaks might have slowed down. Hoping it will get me a few more years before I gotta do a full rebuild. Also did the extensive reading
