First UOA and was curious how the M1 0w40 would do considering how these engines are hard on oil. Driving habits are 50/50 and is wife’s DD so wanted to see how it was holding up at 5k. Current fill is Schaeffers 9000 5w30.
Didn’t loose any MPG with the M1 and engine ran fine. Also didn’t have any makeup oil added. This was the 4th OC and the first 3 were all PP 10w30 and had to add 1/2 qt on the same interval.
Yes I know these have not been the reccomended grades but I don’t care. Never ran the specific grade in any vehicle as you can tell from my signature and have never had any issues with the engines. So I’m sure they’ll be comments made about that and wanted to go ahead and save y’all the trouble and explain.
Like I said texting the 9000 so see how it does since I can get it for a good price.
Not sure why the TBN is flagged as Caution. I’ll be extending to 6k then do a UOA on the 9000 then go from there.
