I meant no disrespect toward Bill; I would have stated the same to any one who seemed to be in a position of authority, such as those here who have very high post counts. The point I in-eloquently tried to get across is that to be absolute on anything leaves room for error. If some one posts that you should absolutely do something or not, or that something is absolutely true or not, then you should have questions.
I also did not mean to imply, as some one mentioned to me in a PM, that you should not follow your owner's manual with respect to all warranty concerns. A better way of putting it is that the most likely reason a manufacturer places specific oil requirements and does not leave room for the consumer to adjust his own OCI based on the oil he uses, is because verifying different maximum (and severe service) intevals for multiple oil specs would be overly cumbersome. IMO, they'd rather tell you the min spec and the max OCI, and let you do what ever you want, so long as it follows those those guidelines.
I'm a moderator on another forum and I make mistakes like every one else. For some reason, on certain days, I post without getting all of my thoughts together properly, and what comes out isn't exactly correct or how I wanted it to come across, and most times I get called out on it. Knowing that members pay special attention to moderators and people of perceived authority, however, I tend to stay away from absolute answers, unless it is in response to a particularly absurd post.
So, again I apologize for any perceived disrespect. I meant it as a silly rebuttal, but what seems relatively benign while typing on my phone may not come across that way to others, so I apologize.
Oh, hahaha! I just reread my post and noticed the censored part. It says f.a.r.t., not explicative!
I apologize for bypassing the swear filter, Helen, but I feel that knowing I wasn't cursing might change how people read what I typed!
