Maube they figured out the low idle was not helping the cam and lifter problems ?

Now that's interesting, what about RL 10w oils make it run that much hotter? 10w vs 5w shouldn't make a difference at operating temp....
That's cool maybe they realized 550 is too low. Yeah mine was always around 550 until I got my tuner and bumped the idle up to 650...I just thought that was normal, my old f150, the journey, my wife's last 2 grand caravans, my old Dakota, basically everything I've had that's had a tach in it has idled at 700/750.

I was just thinking all these brick and mortar stores saying they can't compete with Amazon or other mail order/ internet is a bunch of crap. They just aren't interested in keeping up with newer products. We've got a ton of STP, Lucas, hyperlube, and various other chemicals on the shelf that basically don't move at all. We used to have water wetter on the shelf, couldn't keep it on the shelf, sold it almost as soon as it came in, but now we don't stock it anymore. We can get it, but it's not on the shelf. Lubeguard, we have the transmission additive and LSD additive but not the engine additive. For the most part of you want the good stuff you have to order it from somewhere.

I work at an auto parts store and I order all my oil and fuel treatment. Which makes it kind of hard when a customer asks me what I would recommend, can't say none of this stuff.Great point. Half the stuff I want I can’t find at an oreillys/autozone

I experienced a bit warmer oil temps on my RL10W-30 as opposed to the RL 5W-30 as well [emoji1303]I also ran 5w30 RL before this run of oil I never saw over 221*
Gotta love these RFE trans running cool like that. There have been many times in the winter here where my 6 speed never broke 100*
Never thought about that you could be onto something there....Nothing but a question: Is this actually creating the proper flow characteristics or ideal lubrication within these transmissions?
Guess it all depends on the actual viscosity of the ATF to help with better flow when cold.
This is something I have thought about for a while:
I know that within motor oils some additives have to reach a certain operating temp before they come fully active and performing properly In the job they were intended to do.
I am curious about ATF as well.
