Re: synthetics, synthetics, everywhere
Rodeo02 - it was merely by pure luck how I ended up with the Havoline blend, I would'nt have thought of it actually, as I was bouncing back and forth between Havoline regular and Rotella.
My mechanic was doing a free oil/filter change the month it went into his shop, and he knew I'd always used havoline, so he just threw in the blend.
I'm liking it, the truck is really quiet with it as well. With the regular 5w-30 Havoline it was kind of noisey.
Truth be told, the ONLY real reason I'm interested in a UOA is to check for any antifreeze. I'm sure you've read somewhere, either here, 4x4wire, or BTOG's site that my Toyota p-up blew it's headgasket, again. By our good luck this time, we caught it early.
The rodeo is at 153k now, and we've agreed to do UOA once every 6 mnths just for precaution really. The Toyota will get them every 3 mnths from here on out.
