Sam96cs, you understand oil lubrication theory very well! Great summary of facts about the oil requirements for our motors.
I agree that the oil should last for 5k miles. I didn't change the oil, I just took a sample, so I'm going to leave it in there for a while longer.
What do you think about 95CSE's theory that since these motors eat up oil viscosity, that we should start with mobil 5-50 so it will degrade to the 30-40 range? Since I live in a very hot climate all year round (Miami) maybe a thicker oil is the solution.
I see one more UOA in my future for mobil 5-50. These UOA's are addictive.
