Have a L67 3.8L Supercharged engine that has now had religious diet of 0W-30 XD-3. My question is that I have prolonged the oil change and coming up to 15K KM so far.. finally had new schedule that I can make it to pick up XD-3 @ Esoo, but they're out for another week or so.. so I placed an order.. I probably will get another 1000km or more by the time it actually gets here.. I don't want to do a UOA as by the time it gets back to me to let me know.. it's going to be roughly bout the same time I get the oil. So the consensus is.. wat should I do? Leave it in till I get the good mojo? Or just replace with Walmart Synthetic for now and then switch back to good mojo after?
Should I wait or not?

Wait for the good stuff. That is why we use the good stuff so if necessary it could handle the extra time,abuse,etc.
Alright.. 1 for wait..
thanx

Do the UOA just for kicks because winter is hard on oil. I killed some Rotella 0w40 this winter and the UOA is posted in the diesel section. Nobody on here will talk to me because I posted a bad synthetic UOA.

Onr more vote for the UOA, Im lovin us Canucks running the XD-3 that is putting up stellar numbers. The more UOA's on XD-3 the better
i hope to have on myself on the 0w-30 in a few months.
Thanx.. I think Patman helped me out before.. but for the life of me.. I can't find that post anymore.. anyone know any place around Southern Ontario anywhere from as far north as Sutton ( thats bout where I live ) to toronto area to as far west as oakville ( parents live there ) that can do UOA? How much and how much oil should I bring? The results probably wont' be stellar as it's seen quite an amount of salt and sand in winter ( we use a lot of sand where I live.. and a lot of salt on the highway and city )
Anyone?? Also what container can it be in? Will a plastic pop bottle be ok? It won't eat thru it like gasoline?? Or contaminate the sample?
