Where are you pulling your pressure readings from? Oil pump or by the distributor? I have found that pressures are higher at the oil filter housing by 7-10 psi. Static pressure loss through the oil filter.

I always wondered why GM specified synthetic gear oil in the rear dif and conventional gear oil in the front dif of the 1/2 ton 4x4 vehicles (at least in the 2002 and 2003 that I'm familiar with). Seems that it would have made more sense to not have different gear oils on the same vehicle.

Zink/ OIL CHANGES
All engine oils have ZDDP (zinc). The levels of zinc are limited and all API SN oils are limited to less than 800 ppm.
Diesel engine oils are allowed to have a tad more ZDDP. There are many rumors about today oils lacking in enough zinc. Most of these comments some from uninformed people who read too many internet blogs. Racing oils or any oil NOT allowed to be used on the street can have as much zinc in them as they choose, since it is not regulated for on road use. Some of these oils have as much as 3000ppm zinc. Oil Changes and when, High Quality filters and Oil are the key to long lasting protection and extended drains. I don`t recommend long drain interval for carburetor car, they have to much gas that ends up in the oil.Everyone has an opinion on this one, remember if you want to get real on this have a lab do an Oil analysis on your oil and create a file. Or change you oil every 3 to 4 thousand miles or yearly. Yearly means at the end of the season to rid the system of hamful contaminates before you put it away for several months. I do run 5 to 7 thousand miles between oil changes on my newer fuel injected cars and vans. When you pull the oil plug on your car you should see dirty oil or dark oil. If the oil is clean,the oil you are using does not have enough detergents in it to keep your motor clean. Remember if the company spends bunches of money advertising,how much money is left for quality product to make that oil? Remember the same applies to Oil additives, If big buck are spent on advertising how much money is left for quality ingredients and the retail price of the additive is $3.00 or so. |

Not in my GTO. For a carbureted application i would think fuel dilution would mean you should change your oil very frequently even with synthetic, unless you have a perfect fuel curve.

I have a Frantz filter on my own 6.5 turbo diesel and the oil (plain Rotella conventional oil) is over 20,000 miles, and has been in the engine for 2 1/2 years now with just filter changes and a quart of makeup oil when I change the filter. Anyone else here want to try that with just the full flow filter and no bypass filter system? The filter the factory uses is just like a strainer you have in your kitchen as far as removing solids, it'll remove the big stuff and leaves the rest. Just think how much more efficient it is to remove all the solids and not have the smaller particulate circulating until you dump them out with the oil change. No matter how much you pay, or what brand of full flow strainer you buy, it only has so many square inches of coarse pore filtering paper in it, and no matter how many times the oil circulates the finer material goes right through it. Another thing is when you run a car through the gears all the oil will not be pushed through the filter, the bypass valves will open and a percentage of the oil needed to keep from starving the internal engine parts goes right around the filter.
