My wife is the same way. She wants her vehicles warm in the winter time before she gets in to drive off. Often the car is idling for longer than the trip will take. She'll warm the car for 10+ minutes and drive it for 5 minutes. That's just the way it is and I don't care! 🤷♂️ My baby wants to...
If I am saying the right...
Engines and lubricants have come a long way. Manufacturers recommend oils based on what the engine is capable of. We use oils based on how we drive. Or at least I do. ;)
I would agree with what others have suggested and don't overthink this nor change what you've been doing over the past 2 decades. But too, I think that if your Corvette was driven exactly how you've been driving it and only saw a diet of another brand of synthetic oil, you'd be asking the same...
Well, I ordered my 4 - 5qt jugs at around 4 am so I hope there is enough oil and they can fill my order. I did get an email confirmation of the order but it doesn't say that they have my 4 jugs.

Yup, I did check the W*M site again...
I hope that I am saying this correctly...
Don’t be afraid to use synthetic oils, as most of today’s synthetic oils are of a Group III chemistry which is Hydro processed-pumped out of the ground motor oil. It’s the Hydro processing that changes the chain molecules to rival the PAO synthetics...
When I discovered BITOG in the early '00's, I was buying oil after rebate for .49c-.69c/qt.
There were even double rebates going on at that time from the oil co. & the parts store that I purchased from.
Often allowing me to profit a $mall amount when all was said & done. For example...
That's what it sounds like to me. Or the hydraulic brake line may be chaffed on the inside after all of these years(coincidently), and now it has made itself present/noticeable.
