This is a thought.  I switched to 20W50 when this happened to my husband and
we had no more problems.  I thought the change of oil type cleared it all
up.  I found out recently that it will still happen sporadically when my
husband drives the Van. (Not often)  I drive it nearly daily and have taken
it at highway speeds and around town and it's never happened to me.  His
driving style is different.  He barrels off freeway exits and brakes much
later than I do......and that's when it happens.  I start slowing down
gradually as soon as I'm on the exit ramp.  Never happens.
