Since the cam is only splash lubed from the crankshaft, this will ensure that the cam gets plenty of oil and doesn't wipe a lobe. I try to run the Rotella for about 2-300 miles then change it.
ok I'm glad I'm not the only who thought 20 minutes was to long I'll run for 250 miles. then should I run full synthetic or just some regular oil?
