Ed-

I had the exact same issue in my TR4 od last year - I had just put in a
generic non-detergent 30 wt oil bought from a flaps.  After just a few days,
my od was having difficulty disengaging.  In my case I switched to Valvoline
VR1 20W50 and have had zero issues (though my next change I have MT90 to try
out instead).

This sounds like a potential lesson learned to stay away from generic 30 wt
oils..
