burning fire...

but I will be sending my oil in to get a 3rd test done. It's been close if not over 10k now.

For those that might think this is bad... it's not, we know 8+k is fine... and infact, the car is running so well, that I am getting better gas mileage right now, I am at about 30+ on the freeway right now.

Change will come this weekend, results in a couple.

keep'em comming

Thanks for the tests! You can't argue with real data.
Then let each individual driver do what ever "saftey factor" they want! On your last test I did not see a viscosity reading before and after? Did I miss it? Did this degrade? Personally I'm switching to Mobil1 and rollowing the 7500 schedule in the manual!

I'm interested to see how the 10k oil holds up. I imagine that it'll be nearly the same as your 8k interval It was great to talk w/ you at the last meet, and you always have interesting things to say. I have a friend who's going to swap a b16a into his car so I pointed him towards your page.
Keep up the good work.
