So.HPL keeps the colors the same throughout the line
I don't like that neither. Then Lucy gets upset about that and breaks my sunglasses.HPL keeps the colors the same throughout the lineup.
Things like soot, fuel dilution, and sump size, are out of the motor oil's control. Toyota makes pretty conservative NA engines, that's why I mentioned it. I wonder though if the sump size would allow for the oil to be run for so long. AMSOIL blends excellent products, though I wish they would do a better job educating the public on how to practice extended OCIs correctly.Would likely be a 20 grade at that mileage.

Good points, I agree. In a GDI engine it's tough. Long sustained highway miles is your best bet, but even in some instances with certain engines, it's just not doable.Things like soot, fuel dilution, and sump size, are out of the motor oil's control.

Because it crosses the minimum HTHS threshold of 2.6 cP. That's what was deemed safe for most engines before, as 5W-20 has been around for ~40 years. In fact, the first 5W-20 was actually a 0W-20, but that's a different story. That's why 0W-16 and bellow motor oils also get their own ILSAC logo and classification.I'm honestly not even sure why they came out with 0w16.
Apples to oranges.
Purple or a blue labelShould have picked a different color label than green, similar to the 0w-20 color.
I guess a different color cap (black) helps?
