    With the price of a barrel of oil it'd be cheaper to buy a barrel.

    I actually thought of doing that... But sadly it's still imported which means I still pay up the ying yang heck gas is ~3.45 cad per gallon around me. It's at an all time low we're not seeing it passed on at the pumps fully yet

    I didn't even catch that I pressumed quarts. If it was gallons I'd be ordering allot and paying the import fees

    Is that because upside down driving requires extra oil?

    Or I heard that people are experimenting with injections oil instead of meth.... Cooling oil mist injection. Added lubrication and "cooling"

    I have a wally world nearby that sells Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5 quart for 27 bucks. That's the only oil I've ever run, and no problems at 42K miles. Essentially the same as PP, but supposedly slightly cleaner.

    Sweet. What interval is everyone running? I've done several UOAs (Blackstone Labs) at 5k miles, and they said everything looks great, and to try 7k miles. But since I'm at ~380/380, I stick with 5k. On oil like this, I think 3k intervals are excessive...

    I set my reminder at 4000, but usually end up running just about 4500, because procrastination.

    Depends on how hard you drive...5-6k miles is pretty standard.

    Not sure if I'd be comfortable pushing to 6k. The DISI is pretty dirty and oil is dark and smelly at 4k. I know dark and smelly is normal for these engines, but I like to have some extra margin for the sooty beast.

    Some do, if you're not heavy driving. Personally I change at 3.1-3.7k miles as I'm km at do 5-6k km per change.

    Same here.... Unless it's days like today where its -25.... Let the dam thing idle for a while before even driving away... No boost for me when it's that cold unless I've been cruising for atleast 30-40min

    Yeah I'll still go hard in the cold, but only after coolant is up to 180 degrees. If it's super cold I'll be careful, but so far, I've had no winter over boost issues with my tune.

    I will start the fun after I've been at operating temperature for 10 min. Thankfully Colorado doesn't get really cold and the car is garaged.
