If redline makes a 0w-30 I trust it. And my coolant never heats up more than 180, so I'm not so worried about thermal breakdown.

I think they specifically refer to 10-40.

Anyway, I use 15-45.

How often do you change your oil?

I only just made my 2nd change on Rotella. I'll probably change it something like not more than 3,000 miles or 3-6 months regardless. I'll have to get with the old-timer on all the other things he was saying about oil products and why he recommended Rotella as a very good off the shelf oil. I know he was big on acidity and, as I recall, something called TBN?

I've been recommended to Blackstone Laboratories multiple times, hear there the best in the biz. Might get my next oil change analyzed by them.

I used them once for my old engine, just to see. They're great, very professional and give you detailed feedback. If you run your car HARD and analyzed every couple changes, you'd probably be able to detect negative trends long before catastrophic trouble.
