I was thinking the same !
I talked to coldair a bit yesterday and he is running the thicker oil because it is available local with zinc in it. That got me to thinking about my engine and the lack of zinc in my oil. I did some searching and found that Lucas makes oil with high levels of zinc in it already, I am going to switch to their oil on my next oil change

You could run rotella 15w40 if you worry about the 20w50 oil
I have run Castrol 20W-50 since my jeeps first oil change in '85.
Never been 'inside' the engine in 34+ yrs of ownership

Gotcha whooped on that Castrol thing with over 35 years and 10-30W LG. You might catch me someday !

You ever get that thing outta da garage besides an afternoon drive to the bingo parlor ? Oh I forgot you drag it around behind the motor home. Maybe you should trade it in for a golf cart to ride around the camp ground. Mine is at just under 238,000 miles
:laugh:
At least mine will get up to the speed limit...........
238K is impressive for sure.
Mine might be close to that with all the miles I've towed it.
Ever have to get inside the engine? I've had to reseal the valve cover a couple of times is all.
What kind of oil pressure are you see'n with that many miles?
