ok, thread creep here…but may I ask why you are changing the oil every 1500 miles? Especially in Arizona? No judgy, just insanely curious…
Well a few reasons first you half to know a little about me, my Analilitical mind retired Technical Engineer, I over think situations . I Drag raced for 25 + yrs. Changed my oil every 2 to 3 outings , and have done this mind set since , on my daily driver's and all my Muscle cars past and now the Mach . It's never had an ill effect changing the oil every 1500 to 2000 miles , on all my cars. Now add the Arizona heat, I haven't done any personal research but reading everything I can and asking engineermike his opinion and also changing to 5-50w , he also gave me positive feedback. I've waisted $$ on worse things than oil , so that's not a factor to me .

fair points to all…I just could not do it every 1500, my @$$ would be doing oil changes every other weekend šŸ˜‚
