*Scratches head* Walt, I agree that oil is cheaper than metal, but if the oil isn't used up what possible advantage could you get in changing it early? I mean do whatever you want to do but it seems like changing your oil way early like that is about like pulling money out of your wallet and lighting it on fire for what good you get out of it. I'm trying to come up with a good analogy for this. My first thought was would you get rid of shoes that still had a third of their life left and I realized most people do. Then I would you get rid of a car that still had life left, and I realized most people do that too. Oh, heres one, would you get rid of the milk in the fridge just because it was "old"? If it hasn't gone bad theres nothing wrong with it and nothing to be gained from getting rid of it early... I'm talking about your short change Delo here, I'm with you on your Mobil 1 change rate. -Curt Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2006 11:28:45 -0800 From: "W.

I?m with Marshall on this one. I tested my new 603 engine 4 times and at 5000 miles I came up with 1.8% on the soot with M1 and the way I drive. Just as a point of reference, before I changed to M1 I was using Delo 400 and was changing at 2000 miles and in all those tests at the 2000 mile mark my soot level was between 0.1 and 0.2%. Yes, I know OVERKILL??But oil is cheaper than metal and I like to change oil. Walt Lasher Seattle 92? S350 B-1 W-140 --------------------------------- Yahoo!
