Looks like we finally got some of the creeping numbers under control and with an even longer oil change interval.

For the guys out there doing changes at 3k or even 5k. Looks like as long as you have a good oil, we are pretty good to 7500 miles between changes. I will continue to do 5k just because this vehicle sees lots of cold starts and short trips but its nice to know that at least the Amsoil Signature Series is able to control the shear in this engine really really well.
