    Actually....I wasn't trying to be cynical. I was hoping that pointing out what always happens in a TW oil thread would, some how, help to prevent it.

    Kinda calling people out before it derails.

    Good for you, but it's usually not effective, alas.

    You're right. I've tried this tactic many times before. It will sometimes work for the 1st 3 or 4 pages. But as the pages pile up...fewer and fewer people go back and read them. They typically just look at the last few posts and fire off from there.

    The beginning of the end is nigh at that point

    Just got it last week but it’ll eat costco on a regular basis and 0w20 amsoil when it gets to its oil changes.

    Used amsoil in the wife’s Honda forever and it happened to need a valve cover gasket last year (it’s first in its almost 16year life so I wasn’t concerned). Mechanic who replaced it told me to keep feeding it what I do because when he took off the valve cover he said it was spotless at 140K miles.

    Help me out here. What's the reasoning behind putting 90+ octane fuel in a vehicle that doesn't require it?

    There is none. Stick with a Top Tier 87 octane fuel
