Hello all
My 2011 Toyota avalon now sits at about 111k miles. I'll be driving this car almost exclusively for work which is primarily highway miles with a few shorter trips around town to the store etc. I gave my old Mercury Grand marquis to my son. I've been considering using Redline 5w30 for my next oil change. I've got a couple quarts laying around so I was thinking of buying the gallon off Amazon. I know it's good oil but I've also read on here that it isn't suitable for extended oci's. I don't want to run it ridiculously long but I was thinking, 10k miles. In order to offset the cost. I don't normally push even synthetic very long 5k maybe little more. So 10k would be a new experience for me. If I do this I've got a Blackstone used oil analysis kit and was planning on doing a used oil analysis. But only if I think it would hold up at least that long. I'm asking for anyone to share personal experiences with that long of an oci with Redline 5w30.
