This is the longest I have gone between changes with this car and I was very impressed with the low numbers. In fact, all of my wear numbers were lower than my previous interval even though it was a shorter run (7700 mi)
I put in more M1 0w20 and a Mobil 1 filter this time (got it free with the purchase of a jug of M1)
