good to know MITCH! i was hoping it wasnt to big of a range for one oil.
But were the pressures acceptable (according to the values listed in the FSM) once the oil was warmed up? I'm under the impression that they were not, correct?
Another oil would be Mobil 1 Racing 0w-50 if you can get it. Would give you an oil that is thinner at startup than the Rotella, but still heavier at operating temperature.
