Anyone experience something similar?
I think I'm going to switch back to castrol 5w30 this weekend.
Also I add a small bottle of liquimoly anti friction usually during the oil change or a week or two after when I go to an auto parts store (I think one bottle is supposed to be for 5 liters or oil but I found it does the job for 6 and change.

I've been using Castrol 0W-40 older LL01 approved stock. Runs fine. I did experience more vis degradation from a UOA than I expected given really low miles.
? I think it might be b/c I run short trips too often?
I'll try olive oil only if it's from Kalamata olives.
