Should I be concerned and maybe switch to one of the more expensive 5W 50 offerings like Liqui Moly Molygen 5w 50? Ford, Redline, and Mobil One also offer 5w 50 full synthetics. T6 has always given me great service in my TDI's.
All the OM 606 conversions I do seem to run at the same oil pressure as yours. I also use the same oil, never had any problems. What size oil cooler hoses are you using, should be -12 AN.
That's good to hear. I do run big 12an hoses. I'm running a thermostatically controlled oil cooler (don't know what setting I should use) I got from Summit Racing but it's bypassed right now as I had an ac line blow and puncture it. What oil cooler are you using and recommend?
I use the stock oil filter housing thermostat to control the oil flow to the cooler. Finding -12 an oil coolers that are not China crap is slim and they are pricey. I found one called Motamec oil cooler from the UK. on E-bay. Nice cooler and they have various sizes. The seller was very helpful and a great guy.
On my offroad conversions I try to keep the cooler as close to the oil filter housing as possible to avoid long hoses. I fit it on some brackets off the chassis, and use a Spal fan on it which is themperature controlled.
I silver solder -12 an fittings on to the original fittings on the filter housing.
