- oil viscosity is very important, use higher grades
- use top tier fuel to keep injectors clean, this helps reduce gas in your fuel, fuel in the oil reduces viscosity

He also said oil that's been run for a while will have a lower ISO code (less dirty) than virg|n oil which I thought very interesting.
