I'm a constant visitor here, but rarely post. My knowledge of oils is greatly surpassed by many here, so I just read. Anyway, my screen name says Elantra and that vehicle was totaled, so wife and I bought a 2017 CR-V EX, the new 1.5L turbo engine. My concern is the the LSPI, been reading a lot about it but some of the talk is over my head.
From what I gather, it seems low calcium and high moly is the way to go, correct me I'm wrong. Previous oil I've been running is RP, but been wanting to try Schaeffer, so bought a case of Supreme 9000 0W-20 before reading more about LSPI. I haven't seen a VOA for 0W-20, but I'm sure it does have moly in it and probably calcium.
Anyway, question being is Schaeffer Supreme 9000 0W-20 an oil I want to be running in this engine? Is there a better option? I want to stay full synthetic and don't mind spending to protect the engine. I do plan on doing an UOA with Blackstone as well.
Thank you in advance,
Vince
