Concerning Lube specs:

A friend of mine came up with the following analogy:

If you were sick, would you limit your doctor to ONLY those medical
techniques and drugs available as of the year you were born? Limiting your
vehicle to what the manual recommends is a similar decision.

There have been massive strides in lube technology over the last couple of
decades; refusing to take advange of the new tech may well be
counterproductive. It's not wise to push an anology too far, but there is a
reason that SI spec oil will satisfy SA requirements but not vice versa.

MY humble 2 cents,

Steve Allen
