Seems like running detergent oil in a non pressurized/ filtered system is asking for trouble.

ANY splash lube system must use NON-Detergent oil!! The detergent in oil causes foaming. Foam contains air. Air does NOT lubricate!!!! Most engine mfg. recommend straight weight oil.
pressure lube systems should use non detergent. could be multi-viscosity
Pressure lube systems w/filter can use any oil of the proper viscosity for the application
AS WITH ANY SERVICE YOU SHOULD FALLOW MFG. RECOMMENDATIONS!
