must read: https://moparforums.com/forums/f62/o...33/index2.html

 

ok so what i got from that is.... my oil sucks ? or ? i'm not the fastes car inthe garage lol

 

on the first page of that thread, it shows what happened to a lifter of mine that was ticking

 

you should be able to get single lifters at your local napa store...and some lucas zinc additive for your oil

 

Summit racing sells lifters as singles.

Maybe use diesel oil in your motor for more zinc. Thats what I run in my AMC 360 in my j10.

 

k, is diesel oil thicker or? cuz i have 50 waeight in there now.

 

Usually diesel oil is 10-40 oil. Use it and the lucas and you should be fine.
I always run the Mobil Delvac in my car and my semi. It doesn't seem to leak asbad if you have a minor leak. Less blowby too (it seems). I used to run the shell rotella but it seemed to leak more and more blowby. Have never tried the Chevron Delo.

 

k, i had to switch to straight 50 in the summerori seem to lose oil pressure

 

you may need a new pump or rebuild the one you have. Also you might need to clean the screen.

 

well the guy i baught it off of told me that i have to run thick oil in the summer cause it go through the seals or something
