I'm getting fuel dilute. Got to go for AF tuning. This contributed to the TBN depletion and the TAN. VI depleted also because of it. Other than that, everything looks hunky dory. This oil is super cheap and super good at $5.50/qt IMHO. It didn't thin down according to some reports. Goes to show that even SL rated dino oil is good for the street car. Too bad Citgo has run its course with Terence. He no longer supplies it.

Hello, bro Lucien n I are thinking of getting Citgo 10w30 mineral oil, but got better discount if we getting 3 cartons. Anyone wanna share 1 carton? PM me.. Usual price is $5.50 per qt bottle.. if getting 3 cartons is $4.50 per qt bottle.. savings of $12 per carton
