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!!
