I'll make a video of mine so you can compare.

As for the oil, I personally like Rotella and Mobil Delvac 15W-40. I think Rotella is a bit thicker because my oil pressure is always a bit higher when I use that oil.
Great... thankfully though, those can be replaced, right?

I just washed and vacuumed her because I picked up my sister and her dog that sheds 2 lbs of hair a second so I'll take her out for a spin and check out the blow by. A video would be awesome and really helpful thanks!!!

I'll start testing around with other oils now, see which one she likes best! As always, thanks for the information and advice!
