Larry - did you change the oil when you bought the car, or is still
running the oil that the PO put in it? If it's still the PO's oil, it
will reflect his/her driving habits (could be a lot of short trips).
FWIW, the fuel content in the oil in two samples from the SDL at over
10K miles each, was <
I, too, had shared this concern, until I read somewhere that the
higher number is the "real" viscosity, and the lower number is how the
oil reacts in cold temperatures. That is, a 0W40 oil is a 40 wt. oil,
that maintains a viscosity similar to a 0 wt. oil at 0 degrees C., or
something like that --
Lots of possibilities! Worst case is a leaking injection pump,
requiring rebuild, but that won't be 3% very long more like 50%.
Unless you are "making" oil (level rises on dipstick!), not a worry.

on it) and use that for your reservoir. I use both my big shop vac and
