John,
#3 - I know of a couple of club members who have this setup but don't know
how well it's working for them....I'll ask around next week at our monthly
meeting. I'm also not sure if the oiler tube is a "fix" for an old
neglected, gummed up engine or is it an improvement to correct an inherent
oil flow routing or pressure problem in the 6 engines or....both of these
reasons?
#4 - I use it....Castrol Syntac 20w-50 and feel that it has kept oil pressure
up at idle and at cruising speeds especially during hot weather driving when
I used to see the pressures drop with good old regular 10w-40.
