So I might have gone a little overboard. Although 3 regularly driven vehicles with a fair amount of highway driving and a project Model A. Still have some random quarts I didn’t feel like digging out and a handful of Mann filters for the VW.

Purchased yesterday on sale for future use in the new Volvo instead of 0W-20. Have some Liqui Moly coming as well. Once it’s here I’ll work on organizing and posting a pic of the hoarding stash.

I am also very curious how the OP thinks his oil is breaking down.

Doesn’t Vancouver have a lot of stop and go traffic? It does in my experience but maybe not for your routine. I did an early oil change (1600 km) on our new Volvo and did not change the filter. Low iron and aluminum but a fair amount of copper in the UOA. Next oil change coming up soonish at...

Mobil 1 also has rebates going on. Website hasn’t worked for me though for the 2 ESP I bought a week or so ago.

Try $43 end of the week.

Gotcha. I’m aware of geopolitical events, I’m just not see any actual shortages in person just yet. If anything, short on stock temporarily due to hoarding. Yes I am hoarding but I’ve always purchased excess in advance when on sale.

Just curious why I'm tagged? I'm well aware of the apparent shortage coming, but Canadian Tire usually has a lot as it's more $$$ than Walmart, but going on sale for a good price Thursday night. Walmart is hit and miss but it's usually on the shelves at some point. There are also 3 Walmarts and...

I’m surprised you mentioned the copper, there’s hardly any in there considering how new the engine is.

Going on sale at Canadian Tire in Canada end of this week.

I recommend you have a used oil analysis done and see if you really need such short intervals. Being in Canada I do a ton of idling in winter and short drives with our vehicles around town and used oil analysis hasn’t shown any issues.

I’d leave it in then

We have friends stashing tubs of stuff who are moving out of town this weekend. Once they’re gone I might have to line up my stash of oil and post a pic.
