I dont mind changing my oil at all. I just dont want to spend $18 per litre of oil if I have to drain it out once a year at 8000K. That said I might give the Pennzoil Ultra Platinum a try. Its on sale for $30 at Canadian Tire this week for a 5L jug.
How does revving to 7 grand keep the VVT working?2014 Mustang 3.7L. I drive it hard at times, but casual more then not. I let it rev to 7 grand on occasion to keep the VVT system working. [...]
How does revving to 7 grand keep the VVT working?
Where/what is your YouTube channel? I'd like to see your tests and videos.You just don't get it, putting motor oil in a coffee pot for a few hours is an excellent way to gauge how well it will hold up in an internal combustion engine over the course of ten or twenty thousand miles

I doubt your VVT needs 7 grand to keep it working. If so, oil ain’t your problem. Lol.
I was told by a mechanic that its a good idea to rev the engine up high, just to give the VVT system a workout every now and then. It kicks in around 4 or 5 grand, so if you aren't using it very often, it could fail at some point from non use. I dont know how true this is, but it makes sense something could seize up if you don't use it very often.

Is this correct?
Yes, the VVT usually activates at higher rpm ranges and normally stay locked in the base timing set until a specific rpm range is hit.
Depends on the VCT/VVT system. BMW's VANOS for example both advances and then retards camshaft timing over basically the entire engine RPM range to shift the power curve in real time. Some more basic systems just retard camshaft timing to push the curve out from base and others of course have two separate lobe profiles like V-TEC if we aren't being specific to just a phaser setup.
The short answer is no. The VVT starts working as soon as you start the engine throughout the entire rpm range. My vehicles never see 4000, 5000, 6000, or 7000 rpm and the VVT system works just fine.Is this correct?
Clean oil is extremely important in these systems thoughThe short answer is no. The VVT starts working as soon as you start the engine throughout the entire rpm range. My vehicles never see 4000, 5000, 6000, or 7000 rpm and the VVT system works just fine.

Over a dozen videos with test results rated it higher then the Mobil 1, which had lower scores.
