Hey folks,
Just thought I'd let you all know about Amsoil 0w30 European 3.5 HTHS oil. It's a pretty decent price and Amsoil claims it also meets API SP requirements on top of all the European tests they have completed.
I switched over to it in the Caravan because I was looking for a 0w30 with as high of a HTHS as possible and this oil fits the list for me. I was using the XL 5w30 previously and it had a HTHS of 3.3 which led to excellent results on the UOA's I had run.
I'll post a UOA here in ~6 months when I've accumulated a few miles.
As for me because some of you have been asking... I'm getting along well with my Walker / Canes and leg splints. I can manage about 300ft before my legs / hip get tired and I need to sit down. The biggest challenge hasn't been adapting to my new impairments from the Spinal cord Injury, but the associated chronic tremendously bad neuropathic pain.
I'm on 11 medications in total to try and control it, while they do knock it down about 30% they comes with some really awful side-effects like brain-fog that no amount of coffee can solve, vertigo at times, short term memory problems, cognitive issues at times, and lethargy. I nap a few times a day.
I'm waiting to get in to see a Spinal injury pain clinic here in my hometown to discuss spinal nerve blocks, nerve ablation (destroying nerves with heat), and/or an implant like a pacemaker but for the spinalcord that shocks the spinal cord near the damage to keep the nerves busy. (This would need a replacement every 10 years).
Honestly I do anything at this point to make the horrific pain episodes stop. Screaming into a pillow for hours at times because it's so bad and then passing out from exhaustion some hours later.
Hope everyone is doing well.
