    JFC, Mike. I can't talk @Wild one into making a modern V8 with me. Even Ford & GM have done so, while Stellantis releases an ecoboost #1 that Ford already did 15 years ago. How to go out of business 101.

    Synthetic Oil

    way back when i ran some numbers for having both a truck and a commuter car, and the numbers also said get one vehicle that is the least worst compromise, so I ended up buying trucks that were low use, like coming off leases and such.

    Harley gets 43 mpg and is fun to ride. Just sayin.

    inadequate flow rate, esp. @ idle rpm.

    But not lubricated enough, is the issue.

    Synthetic Oil

    All I remember about that is silicone is principally added to reduce foam by reducing bubble surface tension, cause air bubbles to collapse. I don't recall how much is added, etc. I also recall a comparative oil foam test somewhere. Think it was either Project Farm or Amsoil. Don't recall...

    Who posted top fuel drag engines use SAE 70 vis motor oil?

    Naw - we're all moving on to Hurricane w*h*i*z motors instead. Italy and France have declared this THE "solution!" (oh how I recoil at hearing those words in a French accent) for all North America trucks.

    could put a GD oiler on the lifters, too. spray jet, or full time bore galley, whatevs. but no - cheap cam and no oiling for a race car motor for retail customers. sheer genius

    And so, there are a fair number of posts about the eco light, and it is not tied to mds actuation. I don't remember what it is tied to, either. If you want to know more ask an expert on here. My 1st truck had it, I could also hear mds kick in because the exhaust sounded like an evinrude V4...

    Check your intake manifold bolts

    Haven't heard of one, if @Wild one hasn't got it I doubt it exists. Probably can't retrofit either, guessing bosses on there.

    For screws to vibrate loose using high temperature loctite would mean the product fails in a routine application. Not buying it.

    Too late - we're all getting EV's. There's zero problems with those.
