Good post!! But we are in the minority changing out that dirty oil so soon.
We are at the top when it comes to longevity, miles logged on the clock.
What's wrong with this picture ?

Don't worry, we can bring up this oil topic again in about 5 years and see where everybody's at. That long life miracle oil hasn't been around long enough to prove a point yet. I'll cut yuhs some slack 
Think we can go 5 years without bringing it up again?
