Some additional notes:
- Frequent pulls to redline on this sample
- 50 / 50 city / highway miles
- OLM was at 30% when this oil was changed
- Previous 2 UOAs were with M1 0w30 AFE, 1st UOA was with M1 0w20 AFE
- Filled the car back up with Castrol Edge 0w40 (black bottle). Will be interested to see how it stacks up vs. the M1 0w40
At this point, UOAs on this car will be more of a hobby / for my interest than necessity, as I don't plan on extending OCIs that much more. It's very easy for me to simply remember to change the oil every 5k miles. My engine seems to be liking it as well. Reason for me moving up to a 0w40 was because the gearing in this car is extremely short, and i am often times hovering around 3500-4000 rpms on the highway for extended periods of time...I am satisfied with the 0w40, as my engine runs a bit quieter + I have seen no change in MPG at all. Curious to hear other opinions, and ready for the thin weight oil gang to attack me
