5w what ?
 
Probably the reason why the TBN was still above 3.0 even after accumulating 20k+ miles on that oil.

Curious as to what oil filter(s) was used for that interval.

Insoluble still ok, I guess you can keep doing 20k OCI instead of 5k dino or 10k synthetic with no top off.

Thanks for sharing. Normally I hate long intervals but this looks pretty good. Using a quality filter, oil and frequent top offs certainly helped a ton I'm sure.

Somewhow, you got it backwards in your testing agenda.

Instead, you should be torturing the North Korean (goods), not the South Korean. Ask Kim if you can torture-test any North Korean-made vehicle engines.

After 12 years on this board have you completely given up on any sense of technical competence and relevancy in your posts?
