I agree, Line's stance is that 87 is hurting the car though.. which is ridiculous for reasons stated above.

My next OCI is coming soon (hopefully during the weekend if I can manage to get my B_S kit in time) and I'll be using the M1 AFE 0w-30. Figured why not since winter is here.. Think this oil would be problematic in shearing too much?
I'm praying that my current 0w-40 UOA would turn out OK.
Poiuy223,
You should take note of that GM thread regarding 0w-30. A GM engineer says no 0w-30 meet dexos due to NOACK rating, which for dexos1 is a max allowed of 13%. Not necessarily the best thing for our DI engines, no? (edit: amsoil 0w-30 is under 13% (8.7), so never mind.. wonder how many other 0w-30 are. Shame companies don't post NOACK..)
You sample the M1 0w-40 yet?
