Oil talk....for those at or above 50K miles, have you changed oil types?

Jon was reading one of those oil forums and
pointed out that 0W40 might not be the best oil in an older engine. Something about all the additives in the oil.
I ran 0W30 in the sedan and you're right, I shouldn't be afraid of that oil. The sedan ran flawlessly.

Try Redline 5w-40.......have your current oil analyzed....then run the Redline....
have your second batch of redline tested, and hell, run it for 6-7K miles.
When you get the test results of Redline 5w-40 compared to whatever synth is in there now, you'll be a believer. Just make sure you test the second change so the Redline has a chance to clean up after whatever else was in there. :-)
