I switched to 20W50 when this happened to my husband and we had no more problems. I thought the change of oil type cleared it all up. I found out recently that it will still happen sporadically when my husband drives the Van. (Not often) I drive it nearly daily and have taken it at highway speeds and around town and it's never happened to me. His driving style is different. He barrels off freeway exits and brakes much later than I do......and that's when it happens. I start slowing down gradually as soon as I'm on the exit ramp. Never happens.
