What are your rod and main bearing clearances? If less than .003” xW40 will do ya. Did you install a high volume pump with the high pressure spring and pinned pump drive? The issue I have with 20w50 is the time it takes to reach the rockers then run down onto the camshaft. A scene often...

Just curious, what is your compression ratio? You mentioned a domed piston with a 109cc head. I’ll guess 9.7 - 10:1 depending on the size of the piston dome.

I supplied Howard’s in Oshkosh, WI about 300 of their lobes 20 years ago. None of them had odd numbers @.050”. 213/221 in at 108 Int -2/35 Exh 47/-6 if I still remember how to do the math. Just in case you’re one of those guys who blocks off the stock oil filter by-pass, use a #9100 filter...

I’ll post the results of M1 FS 0w40 going into my son’s new 2012 F350 6.2L gas engine. He bought the truck with 224,000 kms two weeks ago. The OLM read 92%, the oil was clean and on the full mark. The oil fill cap is 5w20 and that’s what the previous owner used. 2016 and newer have a 5w30 oil...

295/55r20 I have a set of studded Nitto EXOs on 20x10” wheels. The tread face matches up with 35/12.50r20. 275/60r20 are also 33s If you don’t mind a little taller, 285/60/20, 295/60/20 or the standard on F350s and 3500s 275/65/20. www.tiresize.com

No, the evaporation loss will keep it in grade.

There’s an old saying from the book of American Slang; The sun don’t shine on the same dog’s ass all the time.

Pick a THF/UTTO from any of the majors and look at the manufactures’ approvals. I picked J20C&D because it’s the one most people are familiar with, and if it passes that, 99% of the time it passes the others. Avoid brands that you’ve never heard of.

Perfect, around the block a few times right back to our first guess. I use J20C in transfer cases, power steering pumps and in my JD lawn tractor. Some guys use it in automatic transmissions on the drag strip behind their 6,500 stall converters.

SAE 20 ends at 9.2 @ 100C and SAE 30 begins. Hi-Gard is 59@40C and 9.4@100C, pretty much in the middle between an iso 46 and 68. Eaton service bulletin 3-401 states that the factory fill is equivalent to a 20w20 engine oil. Suggested replacement fluids are ATFs and UTTOs meeting...

14mm x 1.5 is the correct thread, but the wheel nuts are the wrong design for those wheels. Have a look at Ceco brand.

I don’t think it matters much. The last pail I bought was Castrol, the one before that was Shell and the one before that was Chevron. What are Ohio soya bean counters and Nebraska corn huskers using in their irrigation pivots?

THFs that meet John Deere J20C or a synthetic J20C & D blows that out of the water.

The Scania Lot Lizard.

WPP on the bottom of Klondike jugs. I believe that to be Warren. Without cheating by looking it up, I’m guessing Omaha, NE.

Add a 5L jug of M1 0w40, windshield wipers, 4 fish lures at $9 each, a package of half inch extensions and a funnel. After driving 1,200 kms last night, I met my son down town. The oil was down below add, so I topped it up before sending him on his way.

My gvw is 24,000 tons. Or 170 potash cars, which ever comes first.

THFs, tractor hydraulic fluids that meet J20C are typically half way between a 46 and 68.

Chevron Marine 1000 has a BN of 12 and is probably available in five gallon pails. Their Taro series starts at 20BN and goes up to 50, but likely only available in 205L drums and larger.

Today: 20L pail of Petro-Can 80W140 GL5 and six oil filters for my son’s new 2012 F350 6.2L. First Ford truck in the family, which just shows to go ya, never say never. The gear lube was $280 Canuck bucks tax included.
