I do have to note, however, that the 0W-30 (which is indeed a thick oil) still gets us 30+ mpg on the highway. 33-34 mpg just cruising at 65 mph (speed limit here). Pretty impressive for such an engine.  |
Cool -- very much looking forward to the oil analysis, as I am planning on switching to this oil next based on your recommendation --which, BTW, is consistent with the wear mean UOA data in the oil nerd's thread (it showed among the lowest wear!). Be interesting to compare your findings to those data as well.
