No I just plan on what I'm doing with car between oil changes. I usually drive my car in the severduty mode because I only work 5 mi. from my house. Barely gets the engine completely warmed up. I use this car as dd, auto-x, and some dragracing.

Heavier oil is not going to fix oil leaks.
I run mobil 1 10W30 in the TT 89 Mustang, mobil 1 5W30 in the supercharged 97 Mustang.

It damn sure did in my mitsu.

I had carbon buildup caked all over the ringlands, atleast 3mm of buildup on the piston tops and a shitload of buildup on the valves....... Ever since i switched gas to bp and oil to royal purple, my engine was clean as a whistle and didn't smoke again.

In the rotarzors$$$$!!!!!, idemitsu rotary spec oil. People looked at me funny when i filled up the other day and poured 2 stroke oil in my gas tank. Haha.

That reminds me, gotta start the bitch and let it warm up so i can move it.
