Bill I do agree with you on your point that any SM oil is good for 6-9k miles in most cars under ideal cicumstances. In any case, most SM oils these days are close to being true synthetics by the grp III definition.

I don't think there is any group 3 base oil in any of the popular conventional oils, just group 2 (and in some cases perhaps group 2+ but I don't think there are too many of those)

Hmmm... I was under the impression that to make the increasingly popular 5W-20 it either had to be a high percentage GIII Blend or at least 100% GII+. As a matter of fact I understand it the cheapest way to formulate it may be with primarily low-level GIII (60-70%).

Yes, but remember that I was into a warranty until 60k passed by.
5k ocis or 6mo.
With my UOAs, I'll stick to the 5k.
Take care, bill

"silicon 4" looks like good air filtration. What was mileage on air filter? Air filter brand? Paper or synthetic fabric media? Any comments/explanation for low silicon? Snow covered ground, damp, for reduced dust/sand in air?
