As long as the oil is cj4 he is within spec.. it's the ck new standard that is not up to specs. Doubt it's the oil- probably a fluke hopefully.
napa here in new york is already advertising delo ck4 15w40.. I just hope they don't stop the delo cj4..I do not think that there is a whole lot of the ck-4 flooding the market yet but different regions may be quicker to change than around me.
I just picked up 2 buckets of kendall titanium 10w30 thats the cj-4 to hold me over a while.
Good luck on the repairs bud!

god bless america and the farmer who feeds your fat ass
I buy from a large bulk supplier of Conoco Phillips/ Kendall and the rep told me that most companies will have to convert but some may keep producing a cj-4 specific rating for a legacy line. But this will be more difficult to aquire.
Luckily they are also the largest Motorcraft oil supplier in the region so i can get that as well if needed. FYI, Motorcraft oil is nothing special.
On a separate note, how many have or plan on installing an oil pressure gauge?
Where did you tap in for the gauge?
Yeah hard to say what the oil was and looks like and what the actual failure was. I just feel that if you tune and ****** and increase power then that's the risk that you take. Ford shouldn't have to pay that out. That drives up the cost and we pay in the end. Hence the 80k price tag on trucks these days.
Ill shut up now, in for what Wayne finds out.
It makes more power than stock. Warranty is void that's the risk you take. Guess that's just me tho
Erik,
Can you get Wayne to sneak a set of billet rods into the new shortblock? Lol
