I absolutely agree that if you have stock, stay stock. I do not. I have remote oil cooler and remote oil filter. This was my reasoning on using the high volume pump. At the time I built my engine, William did not have the deep oil pan and all aftermarket ones were simply too heavy to consider. William, some time ago, made a post called the "Mother of all Oil Post". In this post he stated that he once added two additional quarts of oil to his engine with a stock pan and flew it with no problems. I remember reading somewhere that you can add extra oil as long as the oil does not fill the lower end of the push rod tubes. Since I do not have a deep pan, maybe I should fill the engine with oil till it reaches the bottom of the push rod tubes. This is easily done with the top cover off, then mark the dipstick accordingly.

Possibly when he advised me to run this grade, he was not thinking of our ambient temps.
