How long did you keep the PP/EC mixture in the engine before draining?
Post your latest oil change

But I have never owned KIA or Hyundai product. Going to run two OCI's of the Motorcraft 0W-20 . Got 61 MPG on a 12 miles trip right after the oil change. This must be some super slick oil.

Must have you mistaken for another 'Herman' that posted often on the Hyunkia messageboards.
Must have. mistaken my Great Grandfather's name. He was from far eastern Germany. An area of Germany which has changed hands many times. He spelled his name with 2 N's on the end
There was 5K on that oil.

Thanks for the info.
I first saw/discovered it watching some projectfarm youtube vids back in the day. He built a test device for testing oils with input from an industry engineer, is pretty meticulous and doesn't do product endorsements or take sponsorships. BestLine in the test, mixed with oil, trounced the just straight oil then performed admirably in a run dry test. I figured I'd give it a shot and it did appear to have a noticeable effect. Oil is lighter at change interval too (notwithstanding the major difference I later encountered running mostly E85 to save money). My AFM lifters never complain, engine (532K now) purrs like kitten as long as I don't let the plugs get eroded down to the electrons having to abseil across the gap...
The newer formulation has nano size (~4-6 nm) diamond particles in it. Still using it. I should probably save some at my next change to get an analysis for tribe Geek here...

Edit: Filter is a Purolator Tech TL11403. Quick lube shop had it wrong on the invoice. Oh well. Probably not the first time and probably won’t be the last either.

2023 Volkswagen Multivan T7 2.0 TDI @ 18426 km (11500 miles)

Dealer oil change for warranty purposes.

Reading BITOG got me thinking that this car also may benefit from 6 month oil changes as it gets harsh winter months short city driving with cold motor (well, I do use Webasto heater for engine preheating).
If car user has allowed then the system uploads driving statistics into VW cloud and I did calculations.
On colder months (October - April) the car gets short city driving (15 km (9 miles) or shorter) for 62% of times driven and it amounts to 19% of total distance. So next oil change in April.
