At this point it's Amsoil or HPL. I'm going to make the decision soon. I got a quote from HPL and it's honestly not as bad as I thought for what they claim it will do. There's only good thing about them on here too so I believe it will be backed up. I will say one thing their customer service is...

It's a water and oil cooled ball bearing turbo. I have some extra inputs on my terminator X I could temporarily add a temp sensor. I don't want to add the oil cooler if it's not necessary. It's just more complexity, more lines, opportunities for leaks, etc. This is interesting information. At...

I reached out to HPL. They are working up a few options. They believe their products will be fine for an extended OCI in my application and hold up exceptionally well. I've never used that "top shelf" of an oil before. I guess I may try it for a summer and see.

Just personal. I built the whole thing with a friend in our shops/garages. There's more water/swamp then there are woods around me so it makes more sense than a side by side or anything else.

I'll read the oil pan temp after running it hard. I know it's not exact. But it will be better than nothing. I have 2 friends with similar boats (turbo V8) and been running for up to 3 years with no problems and no oil cooler.

No oil cooler. No one runs them, I've never seen one on anyone's boat. Like I said it runs pretty cool, and holds 8 quarts.

I believe my bearing clearances are good for a 40wt oil, I would have to go back and find them. In my research the "more is better" isn't always the right approach. It's making plenty of oil pressure at the current weight. I guess I could try a 50wt. I just don't know if I really need it. I...

Can you speak to this oil at all? As I said before I haven't seen anyone using the Premium Protection on here or talk about it at all. Like the formulation etc.

Thanks, this was my thought too. I was using that Driven before. What do you think about using the Amsoil and changing it more frequently? I just haven't seen anyone using the Premium Protection on here or talk about it much.

I think I'm leaning this way because I can still change it pretty frequently at that price point. @Pablo any opinion? I don't want to go above a 40 wt. The motor makes REALLY good oil pressure. Talking 70-80psi cruising. It doesn't need a 50 wt I will reach out to Dave. How does someone find...

Posting a potential unique situation, and looking for insight from the experts here. I've been researched and have a few ideas. I have built a forged bottom end, pretty aggressive cam/valve train LS (V8) with a turbo running on e85. It is making about 750-800 hp but I plan to turn it up to ~900...

What's the difference between the 51060 and 51061?

Standard WIX it is. Thanks everyone

I just saw something that compared then and yeah the standard actually filters more! That's crazy. I guess I'll go with the standard 51060.

I did a search and didn't see any info on a Wix 51060Xp or Napa platinum 41060. These both look like an upgraded standard WIX 51060. Has anyone run them on a small block Chevy?

Final comment for people that might search this later. I ordered a high volume standard pressure pump, I know I can just replace the spring but I want the $50 assurance. I also got a champ pans cp50lt. It's a 7 quart pan with a trap door, scraper and windage tray. I wanted a bigger oil pan and...

For those of you that care i pulled the pan today. It's a melling high volume, high pressure pump. So that's why my oil pressure is through the roof

Yep I'm going to put on this. It should help a lot. I heard that normal trays cant handle the longer stroke of the 383. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/chp-cp50lt

I'm unsure of the pump I'll pull the pan soon and check it out just to get some peace of mind. I called Valvoline the guy there said the 10w30 and 20w50 are the same base oil and he's heard of a ton of people mixing them to get a 15w40 or somewhere close. While he can't say it's recommended from...

Lol im on my phone and it must have been some crazy auto correct
