OP, thanks for the report.

Tom

I will still continue to go with my 5K miles OCI's - thank you! It is not just that his motor is still running... but what it looks like on the inside and how much wear it has. Also how noisey it is.

I still believe that the best oil is new oil.

I would be interested in seeing IF his motor had any carbon buildup on the intake tract and valves.

Thanks Op for your post. You def win the highest mileage contest here!
