Delo 400 15w40 for several years. Then switched to Delo 5w40 synthetic in a LQ4. Always bought Wix 51522 for it by the case. Little over 455,000 miles on it now.
40psi at hot idle and pegs the gauge at 80 psi at 3890 rpms.
It was turbo charged for 240k or 260k miles. Bunch of nitrous and windsheild washer fluid it did drink. ( water/meth injection)

dont even get me started on canadian coins. being so close to the border i end up with alot of them.



and its been a while since i drove my truck but mine was extremely erratic too as mentioned above. it would randomly bounce all over the place and then settle back down. i called it "tweaking"
Pretty common thing in these trucks mine has done that for years. Bouncy and erratic that is

Here in MI no one bats an eye at them, unless you're dealing with a vending machine or a bank. I tried using one in MO, and they looked at it like it was from Mars and said they couldn't accept it :)

Do they look anything like a penny, nickel, dime or quarter? Canadian money is basically the same size as US money, for each denomination less than a whole dollar. The weight or something is different because most vending machines reject them, Though.

I have 5 Pence that I got as a dime once. It's got Queen Elizabeth on it, but I don't see a country.

im pretty sure that there is a slight difference in the OD of the coins and thats why the machine rejects them, but to the naked eye of a busy cashier they slip right by. i live not to far from one the biggest malls in the area and its loaded with canadians most times. thats why i get so many of them.

some stores will just take them anyways and some wont. depends where u go

I run Amsoil in all my engines.
My '98 C2500 ran fairly low oil pressure(10 psi at idle, 40 at rpm) when I bought it with 50,000 miles on it.
I put Amsoil in and it went back up to 30 and 70 like I'm used to seeing on V8 engines.
