Also, when I do switch to one of these, is there anything different that I do or just drain the old oil and put in the new as usual. Thanks all.
Based on research on BobtheOilGuy this version of VQ likes Castrol Synthetic for some reason. I will admit my research is out dated as it was 2010 when I was looking. There is probably a lot more oil analysis data out there to give a better indication of wear metals based on oil type. To be honest as long as you are using a quality synthetic and normal oil change interval you should be fine.

I personally run Rotella T6 Synthetic but that's on a boosted motor.
