Namely the Q-Torquepower since that's what I have, but info on the Q-Horsepower would be interesting to know, also, since it's a good deal and I might buy it when my oil stash runs low.
I have searched way back for UOA's on this oil, and it seems that either the amount of miles people put on it is either in the 5-6k mile range or a little higher, but the oil tends to be spent at those mileages. Maybe those getting that mileage have motors that are hard on oil? Because it seems that, being a synthetic, you could run it for 7-8k atleast.
I am about to send off for a UOA on Valvoline Maxlife 5w30, in above stated engine, 5500mi of service on the oil (that number may be a little off, I have the correct # written down somewhere). I have run this oil for this period in the past, and longer on some other cars I've had. Owners manual recommends 7500mi oil changes, however I can't seem to bring myself to stretch it that far with a blend. So, I guess that was sorta my point of trying the Q synth oils- hoping to be able to run it 7500mi, plus it was on clearance. Does anyone know how hard the Volvo 20-valve I5's are on oil? And does anyone think Q-HP/TP would last 7500mi?
Any information would be much appreciated!
