your not getting porper lube with that thick stuff,so some componets in you engine are getting really hot. the highest i would run would be a 10w 40.

just changing your oil isnt going to fixtheproblem you have to find your internal leak. whether its piston rings, valve guides or or a blown HG

i dont know of any oil that can stop your leak, i was just saying thats the highest viscosity that i would ever consider putting in my engine.

your engine has internal issues your not going to be able to fix it by swiching viscosity
