Thank you all!

So basically a switch at some point from a 10-20% PAO base to 20-30% GTL?

I purchased a new 2020 vehicle with the 5.7 Hemi. I drive around 2500 miles per month so 10k miles in 4 months or so. I read the owners manual and it appears you're allowed to go 10k OCI on these providing its within a years time. Anyone who has a newer Hemi do 7500 - 10000 mile OCI and have...

This is obviously the old SS and not the current (new) SS but cool to see anyway.

Anyone know what % of tigers blood is in AP? I looked through the SDS' but can't find it unless I'm blind.. Thanks

I didn't realize it took a year to accumulate those miles until I re-read the thread just now. It would have been D1G1. Thanks

When I compared the SDS the other day of 5w-30 and AFE 0w-30, it appears the 5w-30 has more PAO content %. Also, the 5w-30 has more zinc, phosphorus, etc according to the product data sheets on the M1 website.
