Thanks for the recommendation -- I recall seeing your report and everything looking really strong. IIRC your intervals are around ~3k miles for your oil changes -- do you ever stretch up to 5k? I would be curious to see how the Redline 50 holds up at a 5k interval. I drive a lot so doing them every 3k would almost be a bit of a nuisance
