Wanted to thank everyone for responding and adding their thoughts. After doing some research on the exxo oil it's not really readily available anywhere near me. having to find a retailer and drive way out of my way isn't something I planned on doing. Even better so the redline rep who responded...

The stat is a 160. Teh car has a HD mezziere electric waterpump and the temps around town are always 195-200 sitting still. moving at low speeds its around 185-195. On the highway its never lower than 178-182 ish. SO the coolant temps from what I understand are good and not too cold. They are...

Clearances are .0025 Rod and main.

Running hot isn't a problem though. its running too cold.

Last question, WHere might this stuff be available ? Ill be honest and say I've never looked past Mobil 1 bottles when I grab them for my cars.

I'm curious about this Esso Xd-3. Sorry for being a nub but what is POA synth ? Even if there is a good synthetic that is overkill in price i don't mind it. I know its easy to throw money at good components just wish it was as easy when it came to oil. 427Z06, I have T&D Shaft rockers fully...

If I may ask as well, I'm using a K&N oil filter. i figure many of you may have experience/thoughts on this.. is this filter a no-no ?

Thanks so much for the input. As for how long I'm leaving the oil in is probably 2-3k at the most. As you said (Gary Allan) I'm just worried to step down too far and not have a thick enough viscosity to protect the valvetrain. it is a solid roller and even though the lift isn't very large (.560)...

Oil pressure when cold almost pins the stock guage at High. When it warms up it drops just a touch. When fully hot I'd say its still at 75% or so. I know when i just bought the car the pressure would be at half and actually seemingly low at about 15% when Hot. it was almost at the red zone. it...

I notice it says Diesel FI engines, Superchargers and Turbo chargers. All are probably producing much more heat than I am even though I am revving high. I 'm definitely convinced it is too thick.

Here's a link to the oil from Mobil one. Was my Mistake, it is a 5W50. http://www.imperialoil.ca/Canada-English/Files/Products_Lubes/IOCAENPVLMOMobil_1_5W-50.pdf#search=%22mobil%20one%20performance%20driving%20oil%22

No idea what a UOA is or how i would do one around here. Looking at the letters I'm guessing 'Used Oil Analysis'. What should I be looking for if I do one ? I think I will go with a 40 wt. this ketchup is coming out tommorow !

I didnt mean I always cruise at those rpms, thats usually in 3rd just to make noise and to listen to the beautiful sound going under overpasses. 6th gear at 120 km/hr is about 1700 rpm. Do you guys think a 30 wt oil would be too thin ? I don't drive the car in the winter and its always parked...

Well i did ask before about what oil to use in my 388 LT4. What i wanted to ask about is that even after some aggressive driving and high rpm cruising (usually cruise in 4th at 6500 or so on the highway), the oil temp doesn't seem to get warm at all. On my display readout it usually stays below...
