    Drain plug torque spec

    You may want to consider putting in a Fumoto valve, in place of the drain plug. It makes changing the oil soooo simple. I've had them on my cars ('69 Volve, 75 Trooper II, '95 Saturn (w/421,000 miles on it) and '97 Buick) for 40 years. Would not have a vehicle without it.

    Thicker oil to reduce consumption

    As a rebuttal, usage of oil in the range of 750 - 1,000 will result in the EGR valve becoming carboned up, and thus, will jar in an open position; This will result in a poorly running engine, particularly noticeble below 2,000 rpms on 4 cylinder engines.

My type of driving may have a major influence on the car -- morning drive about 1.25 hour at 2,200-2,400 RPMs non...
