The engine did not shut down, the kid turned it off as he noticed the gauge (not sure the dash didn't chime at him)... The lower radiator hose developed a crack and leaked the coolant. I guess after ~160K+ and 15 years sometimes that happens... Anyway I filled it with water and some coolant to limp it home the 1/4 mile. I then repaired the hose, flushed the system with water and filled it up. It's been fine ever since.So that engine was overheated to the point of shutting it down and that’s the same oil ?
Impressive either way. This oil did a good job for you!The engine did not shut down, the kid turned it off as he noticed the gauge (not sure the dash didn't chime at him)...

Yes this is the same oil. I added about a 1/3 of a quart after the overheat in August and the change about 3 weeks ago. Overall I thought the sample looked good.
Just my $0.02
Agree! I was concerned about damage but it appears we have escaped anything more than a 165K vehicle already has...Impressive either way. This oil did a good job for you!
