Ron, that was the link I posted (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
But my real questions are: Overfill type 4's? Everything I've read says that lower viscosity oil has less 'drag' and better cooling properties due to faster circulation. How much oil pressure is enough, and is higher viscosity oil worth those penalties? |
