Ed-
I had the exact same issue in my TR4 od last year - I had just put in a
generic non-detergent 30 wt oil bought from a flaps. After just a few days,
my od was having difficulty disengaging. In my case I switched to Valvoline
VR1 20W50 and have had zero issues (though my next change I have MT90 to try
out instead).
This sounds like a potential lesson learned to stay away from generic 30 wt
oils..
