Since you are so worried about flow, why aren't you using stainless steel rock catchers?

ROFLMAO! I'm so glad you have nothing to do with engine building in our area.

Modulars generally don't leak oil and it being conventional or synthetic would be inconsequential. Both of our Expeditions were originally run on conventional (ours for 150,000Km, or roughly 93,000 miles) then switched to synthetic. No magic leaks happened nor did magic consumption. I have had consumption over the years on certain oils, none on others, so I stick with the oil that doesn't consume (AFE 0w-30) now. Filters have predominately been Motorcraft.
Both trucks currently have north of 180,000 miles on them.
Oh, and I'm in Canada.
