    I don't know anything about the oil you're wanting to try, but you can go back to a blend anytime you want.

    He said "+" so it could 10 or could be way more than 10. Like 257k

    The island is only about 10 miles across. LOL How can you put 10K miles on it? Isn't the salt air going to rust it to pieces before you get 150K on it?

    I believe NAPA oil is just relabeled Valvoline, both made by Ashland. It's a decent oil.

    And you can switch back to regular Dino oil anytime you want, your engine won't know the difference.

    Fwiw I read that semi-synthetic isn't worth the extra cost. Either go full syn or Dino.
    I'm just talking getting what you pay for is bad, because semi isn't where it's at
