FWIW, pay the extra money to put the Blackstone container in a box

My first sample took about 3 weeks to get to the lab. The next sample in a box got there in two days.

Thinkin about it, Moly oil or MOS2 additive might help w/Fe wear.Try VSOT Valvoline SynPwr Oil Treat

Very good Synth base oil with some thickeners and a lot of Moly. I guarantee results in your application. I use dit in my new 06 Acura because I drained the Honda break-in oil early (somthing your'e not "supposed" to do). I replaced it with Havoline due to 200ppm of Moly PLUS VSOT. During break-in, Moly helps the cross-hatching to wear flat rather than being rolled-over. I'm not saying Moly is needed for a good oil formulation, (German Syntec) but I fully believe some VSOT is the ticket.
