    https://bobistheoilguy.com/motor-oil-101/ Here is a good resource on the subject. I recommend spending some time over at Bob to help anyone with making a better decision, for them, and their driving style.

    I’m with you. If my past has showed me anything, my 200 will be crashed into by someone not paying attention far before my motor gives out. But, I’ve sent customers TGMO 0w-20 off for analysis and it came back with 0 TBN at around 8k miles. So no, when the light goes off does not mean that...

    Depends on driving conditions. That’s why I send off for analysis more often than I should. I monitor temps with my own sensor in the oil pan.

    I'm also running a 30 weight. Redline 0w-30. I stayed down on the 0w-30 not for cold weather starting, but for a lower HTHS than their 5w-30. Their 5w-30 film strength is thicker than a 40 weight, where I was looking more for a mid to upper range 30 weight. At the end of the day, if someone...
