For me this was a first step toward ignoring the MM light. Took it ~1500 miles past 0% this time. This was with Amsoil oil filter. 70% Hwy/30%city & spirited driving, this includes the arctic winter we had with some very short city runs. 1/3 quart makeup. Refill was with the same but with Fram Ultra filter.
Try to avoid telling me I'm not getting my moneys worth using ASM for such low miles: I know what it cost--this was a first step toward completely ignoring the MM light. Subjectively, I like this oil because the valve train on cold start is more quiet than it has ever been with previous oils.
