Hi,
I have GC (this is not a GC related post) in my 98 S-10. Seems to work pretty well in there, Im happy, and will have to see what the UOA shows many miles out from now.
One thing I noticed using this oil, over other oils, even heavier oils (rotella syn 5w-40) is that the oil pressure is higher both at cold startup and full hot idle.
Thats all well and good, but I have one question about this. Even though it seems to me that higher oil pressures will provide more lubrication and better protection properties, does running at a higher oil pressure produce more strain/wear on the engine components like say the oil pump? Will running consistently at higher pressures reduce life in stuff like that?
Thanks for your input,
JMH
