Steve, others far more informed than me will provide info but there is no simple analysis that explains everything and that everyone would agree with. Yes, the V8 had a series of running revisions to the oiling system, several to the pump, the lifters, rocker shafts, cam thrust plate, and probably more.

Many V8 Packards of both years have oiling problems despite the changes, in fact far too many. Yet others like mine, approaching 100,000 miles, has never had an issue.
