Hi all. I love the site, it's extremely informative but maybe a little bit too much for me. I feel a bit overwhelmed with all the abbreviations and I still don't understand the differences between 5w-30 & 15w-40 and how to know which is which...
anyway, I changed my oil in my 02 TJ back in '03 @ ~ 20k miles and planned to due an analysis. I put some in a jar, sealed it up and I found it cleaning out the garage today. I marked the mileage and oil used (M1 10w-30 & M1-301 filter) Can this oil still be tested accurately? My mileage is now at ~ 36k and I'd like to run two tests to see a history. I really didn't believe that synthetic could be run longer than dino so I would like to see how many miles I can go.
