Like I stated before...I'm new to the car, the heads/valve train are new, the block and all that contains is old (172K) and I have no idea the history of the car.
Plus, it's an oil forum. If I wanted to hear "M1 0W-40" as the defacto answer, I'd ask over at the vortex or PW. I'm here to discuss oil and looking for opinions of people in the know so that I can form an educated opinion on my own, based on several sources, including here, manufacturers web sites, the vehicle manufacturer, etc.
Plus, I'm a cheap [censored] (by necessity) and I'm looking for the best bang for my buck in both quality and longevity.
Plus, I don't want to waste M1 on an engine if it doesn't need it based on what it required while under warantee 8 years ago when the engine had zero miles on it. Those recommendations are for a new car, in a new manual in a new glove box.
