    My local dealer has a 22 STS left over. Army green color. They can't give it away... the green just isn't tripping any local triggers.

    Oh it's low all right. Zero.
    It is the most unexciting oil period. No moly. Some Boron. Appropriate Zinc and Phosphorus. But nothing to stop overall wear except a group III base stock.

    I'm not understanding how the oil cooler got clogged.
    It has to be located after the filter system, so that would tell me no filter or a perforated oil filter for a period of time.
