[Smkn_TA]

College is out till august, but I was doing over 100 miles a DAY. If you would have got me back then =(

[Mr. Luos]

I would be game, but I need to change much more often than probably required.
I like to change at around 1000 miles, if not a little earlier.

Sarge not sure if you are engine or car type specific but I drive a 2003 Astro van 150 miles a day and would be willing to do all of the above. I document mileage anyway. Let me know. Thanks

I think this testing wants to be done on LS/LT motors.

Looks like I'm out.

[JoshieDoom]

161k. DD.

I think I drive a total of 5 miles a day... and about 200ish on the weekends.

Lots of stop and go and lots of random variables

[Sarge]

I'm thinking about it Sarge...I put 300 miles on the weekend easily, so times 4 thats about 1200 miles a month...is that ok with you Sarge...

Your in.

HHHmmmm...lemme think about this one. Maybe a really good one. What type of engine/driving? City/HWY %mix?

[Sarge]

Also guys we will only run the first OCI about a week to flush the previous oil out. This will shorten the time lines up without skewing the UOA numbers.

work trucks an ext cab 1500 chevy, 5.3L. It gets an average of 200 to 400 miles per day. trucks about 9 months old. has 50,100 miles on it. Also sees about 2-3 hours a day idle time. especially now that summers here and I'll leave it running most the time. just a thought.

I drive my work truck, typically, 3k miles a month. It's an 06 4.8L, 1500, single cab, long bed. It's got like, 148k miles and is on the 2nd motor already from one of my employees driving like 30k+ miles w/o changing the oil. It gets loaded pretty heavy.

The only issue we might have is that it sort of hessitates and stutters at idle pretty much constantly. We've had it to the Chebby dealer but since it's not throwing any codes, they're clueless. It wouldn't surprise me if they yanked the old plugs and stuck 'em in the new motor when they did the swap. But that would probably throw a code - I dunno.

Up to you.

Is there a third participant yet? We're coming up on June 15th quick. This will be a fun exercise and I’m looking forward to it.

Also, I recall that in the original Need test mules thread from a while back, there was talk of using Chevron Supreme, Mobil 1, Royal Purple, and Red Line motor oils in the testing. Wonder what became of those brands?

If my car was running a little more consistently, I'd do it... I'm already running the SSO 0w-30 anyway... but something is awkward with pretty much everything but WOT right now...could just need plug wires and an air filter, but I won't know for sure at least until after pay day next week...

I've had so many PM's about the type of oil....folks do not use Chevron/Royal Purple and very few use RedLine. So for the sake of all I think Amsoil/Shaeffers/PP will be the most popular oils to test.
