high end automobile companies ...............
That sort of says it all.
I'm waiting the 8-15 K before I make the change, I'm setting that event
based on the metallic coloring I'm getting out of my oil filter contents
at oil changes. If the oil looks like fancy women's metallic nail polish
I just keep running dyno oil.
When I have to look real hard for that iron / oil blend I'll change.
