EAO-12 vs: EAO-13... You are less than a 1/10th of a qt and probably closer to less than 2 ounces as the filter media is taking that extra space up. I would take a look at either the AMSOIL Filter Relocation Kit or if you have the room, a by-pass kit... Talk about added filtration, more oil capacity and oil cooling. If there is room, right up behind the front bumper is an Excellent spot. I am all for early oil changes. Only the unknowing (especially at Dealers) will pass what I whileheartedly believe is a vital step. As far as 'Break-in", it has been shown that there is very little break-in today due to modern machining and materials. That initial change interval is necessary to get machining and casting debris out of the engine. Although Ester oils are very good (Ester is Synthetic) performance tests show that the PAO w/Esters are better performers. The Esters are necessary to polarize the oil, that is why some less expensive PAO's may not a wise choice. Additives are costly. Ester based oils seem to attract a little more moisture than PAO's and are more expensive. Doc |
