and the graphs that they flash across the screen, just quick enough to raise a brow, then it dissappears! no x/y info either;-)

have the Rotella in, it's seems fine runs smooth. Not sure I would spend the full price next time around when delvac goes on sale for just over 30 bucks....but I'm putting on a bigger turbo in two weeks do I will be draining it. Hell i should have just put in dino,,,but I guess since I did a engine flush after doing my timing components, the Rotella isn't a bad idea.

Funny thing running syntheic of any kind. After 300K km on my 88, the only timing components with ANY visible wear were the guide rails. Hell even the tensioner weas extended only a mm or so past original setting! All areas where there is oil flowing (even the oil cooler tubes) were literally clean as a whistle. Some varnish/'sludge' on non moving regions such as bearing caps on the bottom end (not htat bad actually) and the pan directly behind the downpipe. the 88 had full synthetic since new after break in.
