The retained TBN is 1.3 after 9,300 miles, which is fine, but it says this is a 10,000 mile oil and I wouldn't go beyond that.
Great job that ST 10W30 synthetic! You could easily pay more and get less. Stick with this winner.
- Thanks! I agree.

I would say 10W30 is a good choice for AZ.
I was just out there in November for my niece's wedding in Scottsdale. I've never been west of the Mississippi. Folks told me that was a good time of year for tolerable weather.
In town is pretty badly over-built and intolerable, but 15 miles out of the center things were looking a bit more normal.
I would keep on keepin' on
- Thank you! Yes, the city and larger metropolitan areas are questionable… but do yourself a favor and take a drive outside the Phoenix area and head north. Absolutely beautiful part of the country.
