Well, I think I have enough “Green” left for one more oil change next spring, so I think I’ll follow my West Coast Muse (Troy) and start looking for VR1 on sale and stock up. Or, I can use the Green stuff in my snowblower......Maybe then It’ll blow snow over into my neighbor’s driveway!

Years back, I performed the same expiriment that Danny P. did: Ran 20W50 Rotella, checked my oil temp after exiting an interstate, then went home, changed the oil to 10W40 and repeated the trip, all within the same hour. Oil temp dropped 8 degrees on the second run with thinner oil.
