Were you able to find it over the counter,or did you have to order it?
Uoa?That's a great idea. Got the PU 0w20 w Ceratec in there now. Got 7k on oil with OLM just now on 50 percent.
My buddy is Store Mgr at Advance. Pulled some strings and I got it for a bit under the std 12.50 retail price. Dave at Redline thinks I could do 15k no problem. Might Uoa when I change and make decision then.
I will stick with the oil on sale with a rebate Consumer Reports says there is no real proof that any full synthetic oil is better than another that meets API certification.
I really want to see how it runs this winter back in Wyoming as pour point is like -70. Gotta get their CVT fluid too now so at least they match.

I doubt that it is good for extended intervals. Great oil though.
Have you done valve adjustment by any chance?

Already did valves while doing #4 service when light came on at mid 80k miles. Drained coolant at that time too and replaced. 1 and 5 on now, so coolant change again with HPS radiator hoses in red during next upcoming oci.

How?
Still looks like a quart, so not bigger....
Better would be an opinion only, unless the definition of better encompasses spending more for a lubricant that meets specs like the CM or PU....
Any hoo, you gotta pay for entertainment, whether a show, gambling, or sporting event, which, when using Redline, just might be all three.

Waiting somebody to say:

"Supertech just as good....."
"You're $, but I'll spend mine on xxxxxxx"
"Haven't seen any evidence......"

Seems like forum cops took a day off. Let me give you what you've been waiting for.
All joking aside, definitely overkill for a fuel economy based engine, unless it has an aftermarket turbocharger/supercharger.
