Went slightly heavier M1, and added some Lucus Oil Stabilizer - it helped the oil pressure thing a bit, but could be better yet as I have noticed break-down already in just a couple thousand miles.

I'll be trying the Rotella Synth blend on my next oil change. Does anybody else here use the Lucus Oil Stabilizer regularly? Or would you recommend using it at all with the Rotella?

I also do not suggest lucas gear oils. I noticed a noticeable winding noise from my transmission after running it in my car for a drag session. People can swear by lucas products but as far as I am concerned I am not using that SHI* in my tranny again. I also recommend staying away from the walmart SUPER TECH gear oil. Let's just say it's cheap for a reason.

so I was looking at a couple OEM filters I have sitting in the garage. Looks like the 53J's are made in Japan and the 65F's are made in China. Where does Fram get their filters from? I doubt they have a factory in Japan.
