This was my first time running a Warren Distribution blend, resulting in another good, rather uninteresting report. While this engine seems to be pretty easy on oil, it took the 9k OCI like a champ.

Managed to grab an extra case of some Kirkland FS 0W-20 just before the price hike for the 5qt-2pk, as well as three FRAM TG7317s. I should be set for the next 18 months or so.

This looks to be a pretty uninteresting report -- at least in a good way. I was slightly concerned with the large hills on many of my drives, along with the consistent 90° - 100°F days that occur over the summer. This report makes me feel better about using a 0W-20 given my conditions. I will...

I had awful luck with my Yokohama Avid S34's as far as winter performance; there was one instance I couldn't even make it up my snowy driveway. With that said, I'm not naive enough to presume this means that all Yokohama tires are poor in the snow, but I certainly would suggest staying away from...

Originally Posted by Oildudeny I'm no mechanic but I do think that motor is real easy on oil. It certainly would appear to be that way. There doesn't look to be a ton of other 4B11 UOAs on this site, but those that exist are similar. Realistically, I could throw any SN+ oil in it and get just...

No surprises in this report. I will feel completely comfortable extended the OCI to 8,000mi/1yr now that powertrain warranty has expired (at 60,000mi) and the Pennzoil Platinum 0W20 seems to be playing well with my 4B11. I recently moved from Chicago to Nashville, and filled the engine back up...
