Would a quality oil filter have anything to do with the results? - Another Drew 2004-06-09 06:38:28 (478 views)

Are you being facetious? - O.W. Kenobi 2004-06-09 07:08:05 (470 views)

What's facetious? I no good at SAT words. - Another Drew 2004-06-09 07:53:03 (427 views)

Oh, I thought you were making a rhetorical statement that OEM = quality. - O.W. Kenobi 2004-06-09 08:05:25 (449 views)

O.W., a few questions for you: - n_r_child 2004-06-09 06:04:10 (459 views)

I can see it being very useful on a used car, especially one you don't know the history on. One of - mpwolf 2004-06-09 06:30:35 (431 views)

Oh. That makes sense. I guess I wasn't sure what wear would actually be in evidence, and which - n_r_child 2004-06-09 10:23:23 (331 views)

I started doing it at 35k, and this is my second one. I do it mainly for peace of mind, - O.W. Kenobi 2004-06-09 06:24:41 (414 views)

Oh, resale value is a very good point. I hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the info, btw. - n_r_child 2004-06-09 10:25:04 (304 views)

A sincere thanks for taking the time and effort to post this information, SIR! - S4_Cinci 2004-06-09 05:47:07 (310 views)

Now I don't feel guilty for having changed it at 5k. Danke! - Yossarian 2004-06-09 00:23:27 (327 views)

nice i normally go about 8k on M1 0w-40 - EkSiPd 2004-06-08 21:35:09 (417 views)

Nice to hear. Did you add any make-up oil during that time? - PaJohn 2004-06-08 19:13:03 (409 views)

3/4 of a quart of make-up oil, all at the track. I reported that to Blackstone. - O.W. Kenobi 2004-06-08 21:49:57 (383 views)

OK I'm convinced. I've been running M1 0w-40 for the last 15,000 miles - chairman 2004-06-08 18:54:00 (664 views)

Heh, mine went the other way... plus my mileage suffered with 0W-40 weight. - Hal_S4shizzle 2004-06-08 20:38:02 (528 views)

You should have an analysis done to see whether you can extend that interval. - O.W. Kenobi 2004-06-08 21:54:03 (355 views)

Or putting it in a blender. - S4mig@PEB tuning 2004-06-08 19:07:05 (313 views)
