Wierd oil problem

[t.piwonka at ttu.edu (Robert Piwonka)]

yes, the larger the range the oil is supposed to preform at the more
additives required.  ie. more crap in the oil.

No, only old Car & Driver Magazine editorial filed away in some-times
unreliable memory bank under my FORD Racing hat.

  Any scientific analysis (links) to back that point?

  Cheers.

  Try going with 20w-50 full syn.

  I've read that >30 points difference between the first number and the
second
  is NOT a good idea.

        Ah, forgot to mention that the oil light stays on after the engine
is
    running, hydro lifters clattering. It does this only after the car has
sat
  for at
    least 12 hours. Just about anything less and  the light goes out as soon
  as
    the motor kicks in, everything sounds normal.
       About the only thing I can think of off hand is maybe the backflow or
    check valve in the filter is weak, allowing the oil to seep back into
the
  pan.
