quote:As odd as it may sound, you may need to give your engine a chance to adjust the oil (or vice versa). When I first put it in, I noticed some strange sounds (nothing awful, just hadn't been there before) and a 2-3 mpg mileage drop. Within a thousand miles or so, things had smoothed out nicely. That was a month-and-a-half ago. That fill of oil just made it over 5300 miles, and despite a very good UOA ( see for yourself ), I decided to change it and put in another fill of GC. If anything, it's now even smoother. The last oil before the GC was Amsoil ASL 5w-30. I'm wondering if there wasn't some clash between the remnants of that and the GC. My basis for this is the sounds that smoothed out and the apparently disproportionately low TBN showing at just over 5k. Of course, if you're really uncomfortable with it, dump it. Your car and your money. . .
