A friend of mine is convinced every other oil in the world causes sludge except gtx. He runs it in his honda with an orange can for 8-10k. It currently has 250k miles on it. All he has ever done to it is change the plugs and timing belt. Its not pretty looking in the fill hole but the car runs great!

Tell him to repeat and rinse with the GTX.
Using a real oil like PU will cause no end of issues on that barely broken in Honda....

My fiances family has used GTX exclusively forever. Use it and don't worry about it.
GTX is very good oil. Like Valvoline, there is more to it than you'll see in a cheap VOA/UOA.

Shoot this cat is too cheap to do an extra oil change. He decides to change his oil based on mpg. He drives around 150 miles a day to work and back and calculates his mpg at every fill up. When it drops 3 mpg he changes the oil. He has never changed the atf and only changed the air filter and plugs once. That car is bullet proof!

Excellent Dino oil for the money. I would use it anytime.
John Force does NOT use GTX I can assure of this. Its called marketing and SPONSORSHIP!

MS5K is on sale right now for $12.97 a 5 quart jug.
I wouldnt ever use CASTROL after their lawsuit b.s. and syn thing they did. I would 2nd sm00thpapa on the MS5K, as I wont pay $16 or close to it for castrol.
