My two cents would be to switch up to the mobile 1 0w-40 for 10K miles (two oil changes) and see what happens, it's an "off the shelf" oil, not something you need to order off the internet/go ot a performance shop to buy, to me, that has some weight.

I'll try that after the Redline -- thanks

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.

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