Hi Doug
I agree with the list about Fram oil filters. They are not what they used
to be. Wix, Motorcraft, AC Delco etc. will all give better performance
than Fram. (totally a personal opinion).
I also think you could do better in the oil selection but I know I may be
stepping on others toes (opinions) here. If you really want to improve
your hot oil pressure you should give Penrite HPR 30 (20W/60 viscosity) a
try. Of course I am not unbiased on this subject ;-). I also believe you
usually get what you pay for. Penrite is not cheap but it is high quality,
very high quality.
If I can help let me know. Check out the web site as new info is available.
