Slightly off topic, but given that we're on the topic of oil.... 1. Best oil brand? (Valvoline, Rotella, etc) and if Rotella, T4 vs T5 vs T6 vs T7 2. What do you all think about Diesel Oil Treatments? HotShots, ArchOil, etc (https://www.hotshotsecret.com/signature-series-oil-pack/...

Ill do what I can to find the leaks, or see if it is leaking, however, im not quite sold on the external oil cooler, as I already have a new aluminum radiator connected to it, and it keeps it fairly cool, at +80 MPH, even when it's 70°F here it doesn't go past 185 More photos of the oil cooler...

This is typically how much oil it leaks Will wash those clamps off and check to see if they are leaking or not though

Time to replace them, then? The hoses look and feel new, not dry rotting or anything

Holy cow that is alot, and im not gonna lie, I actually like the oil leaks.....it keeps it rust free (least what my friend with a 454 Suburban keeps telling me) South Dakota can be..... very unforgiving to these type of vehicles, it's a miracle mines even this clean up here Side of motor after...

Since I'm running a new aluminum Faily certain those are the oil cooler lines https://photos.app.goo.gl/QA76Cen7dkX8mVtNA (Peep the oil leak, hate how much it is)

this is the top/end where it goes into the radiator

How worried should I be?

So this is what I have after checking under https://photos.app.goo.gl/uNZCRb4M4LrXoymA9

Super off topic, but i was told.to replace oil cooler lines, what type do you all recommend? Not sure if mine were done or not, I can take photos tomorrow of them, if someone could point to me where on the motor they would exactly be

My d****ass forgot to take the cardboard infront of the radiator off (it was literally 32°F yesterday) and also drop out of OverDrive. Once I did that, night and day difference Still, didn't like the way it was smoking https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZK6RW2EvWcZtUKez6

Fellas, how concerned should I be? Did not like going an incline to get onto a main road https://photos.app.goo.gl/im5VNZAY2ochdhn67

well sir as you can see, the previous owner did the glow plugs back in 2023, says the relay and glow plugs themselves were done.

Shoot, how can I diagnose these from least bad to worse Trying to keep this motor going for a while, just a lowly E3

40°F cold start this morning, what do yall think https://photos.app.goo.gl/fBqeikFecq1Up5ePA
