[QUOTE="Swiss Boss, post: 14242286, member: 153050"] For the oil pressure it was more like if you pressure @60-70psi then you would know that the oil became too hot and too thin so you can back off instead of blowing your motor. I'm too looking for a oil cooler. I still don't know if I should do a big ass cooler like a 948 and get rid of the Boss cooler or go with a smaller one like you did and keep the Boss cooler. But anyway it seems that if your tracking in 90-100F ambient temp, your oil temp will see 280-290F easy even with the big ass cooler. Correct me if I'm wrong. Which is why HTHS value should be more important than vis value @100. In the end oil is oil, any full synthetic either xxw-40 or xxw-50 with a good HTHS rating should do the job and shouldn't worry too much about the additives as we are changing the oil every 3-4 month or less. Now the question is : What is a good HTHS rating for this engine? My answer : I don't know. Couldn't find any info on that. My belief : The minimum for xxw-50 is 3.7 and the max I've seen for a 5w-50 is 5.0 (Redline) so [B]I guess [/B]that anything between these 2 value should be good. All oil that meet ford recommendation are @3.7 (don't know about MC) Too heavy oil is not good either. [/QUOTE]
