Are you adding a gallon of stalube gl4 80-90w?. As the weather gets colder, I've started using a half gallon instead. I only drive the northeast and will go back to using a full gallon come spring.

Haha! I guess it's pretty common? (11-01-2016 )Rawze Wrote: Until you start getting a step as wide as the roller at the peak of the cam lobe,.. I would not worry about it. It looks more like a piece of dirt/flake of metal may have settled onto the roller at some point more than anything. I try and change the oil every 10,000 miles, keep idle to a minimum, and lay off the good olde fuel pedal. At 405k miles, I figured the engine would be almost soot destroyed. I still plan on getting south for some Plan B action come spring and freight slows down for me. User's Signature: 2013 Volvo 670 with Big Red under the hood | |||
