Wow, all I can say is wow. I just finished reading the entire thread and there was a ton of useful info in her, a ton.
I don't put a lot of miles on my ride and its still new with only 1700miles on it with factory breaking oil which I plan on dumping before long and doing a short pyb flush thereafter especially given I have some already sitting in my garage on a shelf. After that the jury's still out. Even after having read all of this thread it only made it that much harder to decide LOL, time for my own research on some of the popular choice contenders. On the upside I don't have the hemi tick but I'd be happy never hearing it either
that paired with me typically holding my vehicles at least a decade I'll be opting for quality when I do, heck I'll probably end up with my own blend.
I do already have a BT catch can and had already emptied prior to this thread. With 1000 miles on it after install, I opened it, expecting a little wetness just to gauge its interval. I was shocked when I dumped out about 2oz of the bad stuff. I'll be checking frequently moving fwd.
So I'll be following up as I make some decisions etc but I wanted to know if there is any update / consensus on that cerma treatment, wow its pricy at roughly $100 for the 2oz bottle but I suppose I get it given its a one time deal. Also did anyone actually do a UOA on it, I suspect not given its price...
Also want to give a BIG thank you in advance for the oil filter zip lock bag trick, that's always been my biggest complaint when changing my oil. I'll definetly be utilizing that technique moving forwad.
And also a thanks for the magnet / plug trick, I'll be utilizing that one too.
So glad I didn't skimp and pull the tldr, I would have missed out. Anyone else that has I recommend going back and starting at the becoming when you have some time, its worth the read. Is at one point something sounds like the ticket until 20 pages later, ie theres no silver bullet that I picked up on.
Oh and Burla I was bummed you didn't do that second redline UOA, I was really curios to see how the wear metals fared in the analysis after that prior flush and initial run through having been done with the understandable wear of a new engine.
For me I will be out of the gate going to a better weight such as 0w30 if avail in the one I choose if not the 5w30. I don't run the MDS as it is and just this weekend put in my new PCM and diablo sport tune, so I will be turning my MDS off permanently later today.
Thanks again guys.
