Am I missing something here or did I not get enough coffee this morning?
Yeah I wondered too. The virgin spec is 75, so it gooped up a bit.
I'm experimenting with a load of this oil in my diesel pickup, it's first synthetic oil in 22 years of life. After 2000 miles I have noted two things: oil consumption is down and cold start oil pressure is better (previous oil 10W30 RT or 15W40 RT). If I have any money left after buying fuel, when it comes time to drain this oil, I may get a UOA done at about 5-6K miles just to add a log or two to to the RP conflagration.
