    Is there any way to assess or measure the oil flow?

    I run 5-40 mobile 1 full synthetic.

    I've always run full synthetic.

    I change the oil less, and with a bypass filter from the factory, you can go a #### long time between changes.

    10w30 Mobil in the bulk tank goes in everything that is common rail injection.

    Everything older gets 15w40 out of a drum. All CAT, N14 and anything mechanical. Which is not very often anymore.
