So I changed my Oil using Valvoline semisynthetic 10-40 oil and a fram oil filter.
And sure enough the grippy paint on the filter is blistering again. I thouht I might be cooking my oil a bit as I was driving in a lean condition before my fuel pump was replaced but that shouldn't be the case as the Disco is running fine now.
I'm just afraid that maybe my oil cooler is clogged or something and while my cooling system is able to keep the overall temp in the below mid range the oil is getting super hot.
Does anyone know of a way of testing the oil temp to make sure it's in a safe range?
Thanks
