Jeff Lee: Sorry but my old eyes glazed over at about posting #35. We are in total agreement.

Racer6x64: The oil temperature issue is: the hotter the oil the thinner it is. The thinner it is the it's ability to protect the engine is lessened, oil pressure is lowered, oil flow is increased (emptying the pan quicker) and more oil migrates into the cylinder. Once all of these changes are dealt with there is no "issue".

Angelo: Remember all of those engine changes Dean and I use to do? I was running 8 qts. 11 is much better and cheaper!
