Pretty impressive to get "500,000 miles" out of an engine and "10k mi" on a change. I'm guessing the testing didn't include many short trips and cold starts so that would make things a lot easier on the oil. Enjoy

One of the cheapest and most abundant LL-01 oils here in Canada from Canadian Tire. I got 5L for $35 the other day (~$26 USD). Lives up to the reputation for shearing down. Filter was Mann HU816X Not a bad report for doing many short trips and a track day. However I'm not excited about using...
