    No, no issues with foaming or bubbles whatsoever. Your suggestion is right in line with my thinking. My plan was to pickup an additional quart when we go on Friday. Thanks again! (y)

    I was told it was a crate motor the guy I purchased it from. It was already installed when he purchased the car, so he's going off what he was told, and could not offer any additional info. There are no visible markings that I could see that would indicate who the builder is. The only thing I...

    It was a new sealed 5 quart jug, unless I somehow got shorted, lol! Thanks again!

    I checked it again this afternoon (stone cold) with the same results. I got the number from the Walmart data base in the filter isle. Thanks! :)

    That was my thought too! I know previous to changing it, it was about a third of the way up from the add line in the safe area. Thanks!:)

    Hi guys, I did my first oil change on my '78 Nova with a 5.7 Vortec crate motor. I used Supertech full synthetic 5W30 and a Supertech ST5 filter. That said, I partially filled the filter before installation and added the remaining contents of the 5 quart jug, ran the engine and checked for...

    Engine Oil Filter for Chevy 5.7 Vortec

    They sure were the days Joe. Enjoyed reading about your Nova build. For a small block in a Nova in that era, it didn't get much better than a 327 with double hump heads and a 4 speed! It goes without saying that it was essentially the high water mark for Nova styling and performance. Those small...

    Engine Oil Filter for Chevy 5.7 Vortec

    Good looking rig! I'll bet it's has a very comfortable ride. 400s are tried and true engines for sure. Is the trans a 350 or 400? Too bad you were'nt closer to me as my son in law specializes in transmissions and drive lines. He's into programming, performance mods, the whole enchilada, lol! He...

    Engine Oil Filter for Chevy 5.7 Vortec

    Thanks for the compliment and the oil suggestions! Yeah it seems to be a very strong engine, and I'm in the process of making the car my own. The 90's called me recently and said they wanted their braided hose covers back, lol! I haven't gotten into it very hard yet, (want to change out that oil...

    Hi guys, I hope this isn't considered a redundant thread. I did a search and all I came up with is a thread from '14 that didn't really go anywhere. Now to my question, I purchased 2 bottles of this to replace the tired lube in the 8.5" open rear in my '78 nova. The price was very reasonable so...

    Engine Oil Filter for Chevy 5.7 Vortec

    The engine was in the car when bought it, however there's no provision for a mechanical pump, so it goes without saying that it has an electric one. If you look closely at the pic you can see the 3 saw teeth on the heads. It has an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, Performer carb, ceramic coated...

    Engine Oil Filter for Chevy 5.7 Vortec

    ChrisMU, maybe the info I read was erroneous to some degree? Regardless, ty for the part numbers and info as this will certainly save me a bit of time. I always liked the fact that the SBC filters hung straight down instead of at a weird angle. Our Sienna with the 2GRFE is the same way, just a...
