    Tonight at the local Pep Boy's - not expected

    Tonight I decide that while my wife is grocery shopping next door at Whole Foods, I'll go into Pep Boy's and purchase my Penzoil Fully Synthetic that Terry Dyson recommended for my oil change.

    Even though my "gut feeling" was telling me that 10K miles was too long, even for M1 EP, I still pushed it so that I could have a Dyson Analysis with a 10K usage. My Tahoe has 70K miles and is driven normally. Not papmpered, but not abused. Off road, 4 wheel regularly, tow in the mountains at...

    Should I switch? Amsoil vs Mobil 1... yet again...

    I know this has been beat to death; However, now that I have gotten over the shock and awe of my most recent UOA and the abnormal indications on viscosity and aluminum with S2K 0W30, should I return to my roots and go back to Mobil 1 or stay the course and put another round of S2K in my engine...
