Swepco 715 in temps below 40

[Xcelr8z28]

Hey fellas, anyone in cold weather have problems with swepco 715 gelling with pump dry starts. Im in new england and its been on average 20 to 30 degrees F lately. Id like to rule out fluid being my issue with a newly installed PSC pump and gear box. Its been screaming every morning, I put my old pump back in and the sound is less intense and shorter. PSC recommended the GM cold weather but it seems like the swepco should be fine as it is rated for 20 below. Just curious on the experience. THANKS

PSC has a relatively new(?) fluid but I don't have any experience with it. You may want to contact mrblaine to see if he has any feedback.

"ALL-SEASON FORMULA: Broad temperature range for use in Hot or extreme Cold Climate environments. Prevents fluid gelling down to -40° F."

Update: Switched to AC Delco Cold Weather Climate Fluid per PSC recommendation. A noticable difference in viscocity. Pump is nice and quit now.
