Looks like they lowered calcium and added more magnesium. 6.99 a quart, found at any autozone, outperforms VAG oils easily... its a no brainer. This oil also seems to have a lot more boron than 507.00 oils.

Blackstone comments, oil filter works very well especially for 23,000 miles, oil was a bit thick (although they think its mobil truck and SUV), and try changing at 16,000 miles.

Nice results. I saw it at AA also.

Did you get a TBN? I was curious how TBN retention would be with the CJ-4.

Looks great BTW, thanks for posting!

No problem. I have more from earlier using the CI4 plus stuff, just as awesome results. I stopped getting TBN long ago, cant justify the extra 10 dollars, maybe I will next time when I stretch it to 15,000.
