    You just have to take the information provided and pay your money and take your chances.

    Good luck, I’d stick with Christian’s advice.
    Indeed and my donk while it was transplanted from a territory I would say had much higher km on it than what the indie stated. It makes very similar noises to Christian & Vera's d3.

    My intent is to try 5W-40, most likely the HPR 5 full syn as that meets the original ACEA standard.

    cheers

    it takes a fair volume of oil to generate 10psi even at reasonably close tolerances...

    I’d be more concerned about the pressure when it’s really hot. I was seeing oil temps of > 120C last week with the van on. That’s in the sump so the temps in the bearings would have been considerably higher. Takes a while to dump that heat at idle.

    Yeah that's what got me started. Only 110 on the way home with the Camper on. It's all good fun.

    Given the amount of sludge that was blocking my heater core, I do wonder about both the oil cooler and the fuel cooler. Our van isn’t heavy at around 1600kg, but it’s a bit like a rolling windbreak.
