[QUOTE="Travis Munday, post: 561279, member: 52914"] Ryan- The engine does matter, yes. Modern engines have much higher tolerances, materials are also better, so there is less oil burn-off. Different manufacturers put engines together differently and have different tolerances and different QC standards. Not saying anything more then there are differences. Even then, two engines rolling off the line back-to-back will have different quirks and habits from each other. I know the oil that I drain from the crankcase, even at 7500 miles, is still plenty viscous, no sludge, clumps, or particles. However, my engine is getting on up there in miles and I notice a bigger difference in engine smoothess after changing the oil now. May be time for some MMMO for good measure. Oh, and TJR, I'll take empirical over hypothetical anyday, lol. [/QUOTE]
