Well, yeah, that Fram filter doesn't help matters either. The Castrol is good oil, but you need to be running a Mahle filter, available through our various list vendors. I run Mobil 1 15W50 Synthetic and a Mahle filter, and I have Redline MT 90 in the manual tranny, and Texaco Havoline Orange Coolant with two bottles of Redline WaterWetter in it. No Problems!!
