Are you sure?I'd hate to make a fatal,(to the engine anyhow).
mistake at this point.From what I've read,opinions on oil
weight are all over the place.The reason I went with the 20w50
was because of the oil light being on STEADY after idling for
20-25 minutes or so.Though this was occuring after playing with
timing,air bleed for idle and MPS tweaking and such.That also being
the cause for the SOS about oil cooling.


I just drove home from my mother's heated garage about 10 miles or so.
Stayed off the highway,hit lots of lights and stopsigns and did light
lugging up a
couple of not so steep hills.Got home and no light at all.Pulled the
dipstick
and oils not too hot or too cold.Maybe the carbon monoxide from the engine
and
the salamander has finally left my bloodstream.
