[QUOTE="bmorecobra, post: 14867410, member: 70043"] I can see that. When my build was finished and I switched all the fluids over to Amsoil I was running the sig series 5W-30, but after a few months noticed the oil cooler leak (that I'm now fixing) so I eventually just started running M1 5W-30. Now that the leak is going to be fixed I want to go back, and just as in your case with the Armageddon TT build I am willing to try out one of these higher viscosity oils. Additionally oil pressure and temp gauges are going in simultaneously so I'll have some sort of idea as to how the higher viscosity effects things other than engine noise/the seat of the pants gauge. As of right now the new sig series 0W-40 is what I think I am going to go with. I'm living in AL for the next year or so, so its a warmer climate compared to MD, but I think if it works well down here I can just start running it all year round, even when I move back. 0W-40 seems like a nice zero compromise blend. Have you heard or had any feedback on the sig series 0W-40 in a Ford 4V? [/QUOTE]
