But you don't live in a really hot climate... what oil do you use?

My car runs super smooth too, burns no oil, and makes great power -- but that doesn't mean things aren't being gradually ground down inside. You really need a UOA to determine that.

No, I don't live in a year round hot climate. We have had multiple days of 100 degrees and over... not to mention that the humidity is just about ALWAYS high here which sucks and drives the heat index WAYYYY up. I don't live in a hot dry climate no, but my car sees over 100 degrees and then it sees 0 or below days... IMO that's a better test for oil.

I use AMSoil SSO 0w-30.

Cool -thanks! Your lead is nice and low. What kind of driving do you primarily do?




Thanks-- I'd appreciate that!
