Great to know Red... another thing I can rest more easy about.

So far no need for an oil cooler from what I've experienced and read.

One of the biggest things you'll like is that even when it's hot as **** outside and you have the AC blasting, the car never feels like it's struggling...
whoa... 8 qts. Holy $hit. That means I need to buy NINE qts of oil every oil change. Damn. When I get it in December, I won't be driving her, so she'll sit till spring, probably with 100 miles or less lol... then I will have to change the oil. LOL. So with Amsoil, that will be around 100 bucks a change. Damn.

What oil do you guys like to run?

And since I'm on topic of oil... any issues you've experienced or read regarding the dreaded oil consumption??? I hope it's nothing like folks (and myself) have seen on the VQ's.
