I suspect a cooler would not be a good place to get a lot of grime either. Depending on the diameter of the passages, it might start to clog up and starve the engine. That might be tough. -- Trevor B

Both numbers seem high indeed. My guess is: No oil readings are high because you have a slightly milled head or non-standard pistons, somebody was likely going for more horsepower. Could be a good th

Just to be pedantic, they are rated on the same scale but at different temperatures. The effect is just as you stated, 20w50 and 80w90 are about the same. Engine oil is tested and "engine temperature

You can change the oil by removing the cover, you just need a new gasket to reinstall it. Might be easier, since you really don't have to change differential oil much. This might be the last time tha

You should plan to "frig around" with your needles a bit if you switch to them. You might end up with more power in the long run, but you can expect some issues if you just bolt them on. Then again,
