I ran the motorcraft stuff for 333,000 kms on my original motor ! Changed it every 5000kms (3000miles) and it seemed to do fine ! But that motor is gone now and I never had an oil analyses done on it ! The new motor is going to get shaffers that was just delivered to the house ! Its stupid expensive up here in canada, but I want to see what the difference is !

I assume the 5W-40 since you're further up North.....

Russ,
I don't know how hard it is for you to do this or if it is possible. But next time, can you ferry/drive across the border and get some since you live close to the border? Or will you have to change the oil in the States or something crazy like that?
Gonna get pretty busy in your neck of the woods shortly huh!

Man Rich, you ain't kidding that 7000 is loaded with extra doses, definetly makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, you know my story, and I'm very happy with the 7000. I had some shearing issues when I showed him my last UOA, 10,000 mile intervals down to 8000 now per Schaeffers lab and Rich.. Rotella 5-40 to 97,000 then the 9000 synthetic to about 132,000 now the 7000 syn blend, good stuff so far. On a very cold morning I might get a romp or two but it smooths right on out.
