91lx 11-11-2002, 11:35 AM <font color='#000F22'>I have a 351W and Im running 10w30 (non synthetic) in it. It has around 100,000 miles on it. It runs awesome idk if its been rebuilt but it uses like 1-qt every 2-weeks of driving (500 or so miles). Should I use a thicker oil to reduce the consumption like 20w50 synthetic or 10w40 or what? I dont want to rebuild it b/c im swapping in another engine next year.</font> Texas89LX 11-11-2002, 02:04 PM <font color='#000000'>run a thicker oil and see if that helps get under the car and check for leaks... esp the front and rear main seals</font> 91lx 11-11-2002, 08:57 PM <font color='#000F22'>There are no leaks the engine and tranny are so clean you could eat off them . Pulled the valve covers the valve stem seals are in great condition. Im gonna try some 10-40.</font> Texas89LX 11-12-2002, 12:27 AM <font color='#000000'>it still could be going past the rings tho.. let us know if the thicker oil doenst help</font> Cosby 11-12-2002, 12:40 AM <font color='#000F22'>lol, valves</font> 91lx 11-12-2002, 02:29 AM <font color='#000F22'>lol, seals</font> |
