Looks like you can easily keep the oil in the engine longer. That oil barely looks used to me.

It looks like your engine is still working great. Was the previous oil sample Castrol Syntec 0W-30? I like the Edge with Ti so far in my F22C1. Thanks for posting this.

You're going to up your usage from 3,200 miles to 4,000 miles?

Try 10,000 miles next time, live on the edge a little?

Do you track the car?

If not, lets confuct an experiment. Up your interval to 5,000 miles this time.

Analysis still looks good? Bump it to 7,500, then 10,000.

I bet it'll be good up until 10k, but lets get the reports to prove it
