This vehicle started having valve train noise and lower oil pressure when approaching the 3000 mile point on oil change at approx. 50,000 miles. I believe was starting to have a bearing failure.
Last incident using Castrol GTX 10-40 Oil. A little over 3000 miles (61427 on odometer) oil warning buzzer came on guage indicated 5 psi oil water 205 F. Shut off and let cool. Arrived in Buffalo with oil pressure around 20 psi at 2000 rpm.
Changed Oil , (checked on cost of new engine), added 1 qut of Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer and filled with Shell Rotella 15-40 Oil. Oil pressue at operating temperature and 2000 rpm going down highway indicated at 50 psi. Pressure at 3000 rpm 65 psi.
I am hoping to prolong the life of this engine to budget for an engine failure that I feel is inevitabe.
I am interested in the performance of the product and the outcome of the experiment.
Thank You
