Yep, I'm betting most of us oil fans/mavens/geeks have seen 540 Rat's blog, but for those who haven't, it is good stuff. Of note to me is his opinion of UOAs without first doing a VOA; he says doing the former alone is pointless.

I agree with a lot of what he says...change oil filter at every oil change, no more than 5000 miles on an oil change, change at least once a year even if the mileage is less than 5000, etc...things that I have always done anyway. And according to his testing Valvoline 5w30 Full Synthetic High Mileage is damn good oil...#9 on his list of well over 200! The guy that I bought my truck from last Summer has used this Valvoline in it, as well as Redline 5w30 at times, and this engine with over 150K on it runs quiet and strong!
