What I am reading is to bump to 0w-30, shim the pump, and watch temps/psi. Sound correct?
interested in thoughts and comments on my post in the forester oil cooler thread - http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...&postcount=474

the data is from multiple track events, i will note the above cruising on the highway i can get there, even with this oil cooler (vid in link)
