    CVT durability

    Are dealers now stocking the SP version of TGMO 0W-20?

    Just because an oil rating changes it doesn't mean the product didn't already meet the new specs. This is way over thought. Your engine is not going to fail due to oil rating changes.

    Charging a battery at 11.9v
