I am glad I had not tried it in a vehicle I really cared about.
My point is if you go over 10K or 12K you need to do a UOA and then that costs as much as an oil change.
Amsoil makes great oil, still not sure I would ever go to 25K unless I had the money for UOAs along the way.
Agreed that's why I'm doing them one at 4000
Another at 6000 and if it still comes back good I'll go to 8000
