nice response?
.....but for us lightweights out here, I, for one, like knowing what's going on inside my motors (6). In addition to the particulate counts vs. the universal averages, things like viscosity, change interval adjustments, active additives after x amount of miles vs. xxx amount of miles ets, etc. are important to me. None of my less than mulit-million dollar engines gets multiple changes/year - although my wife's DD Accord came back very high in iron (crank, cam, liters, rods etc.) so I'll be ignoring the dashboard reminder and do the change every 3,000 instead of 6,000 to see if iron goes down.
