Do you not clean or take care of your car if it's greyscale? :facepalm:

PAO is typically derived from decene or dodecene.

Life's too short to drive a boring car, skip the greyscale stuff and go red, blue or green.

You can check the MSDS, they are GTL. Also, the Ultra Platinum containers say "made with natural gas" on the front - definitely not PAO.

As far as I know Pennzoil does not offer any PAO-majority oils, their best line (Ultra Platinum) is GTL.

Vast majority of "full synthetic" oils on the market are Group III base, which is severely hydrocracked crude. Very few majority-PAO oils left, and most GTL production is offline after Shell's plant got drone bombed in the early days of the war.

Any of the PGI 10k mile filters (Carquest Premium, NAPA Gold, Microgard Select, STP EL) are your best bet. Same excellent build quality as the M1 filters but a more efficient media.

After an oil change the filter is empty and it takes a few extra seconds to fill with oil before pressure can build; over on BITOG some folks logged their oil pressure readouts on startups and there is a noticeable delay in time to get to full oil pressure between a normal start and an empty...

Does the painted black top have the hatch too?

Haha, if I wanted good mileage I would have gotten a different vehicle! Did you go to -140 in the front too?

At risk of reviving an older thread, @CarbonSteel did you ever end up installing a TC in your rear diff? Wondering if I should go whole hog to 75W-140 on mine or somewhere in between, like a -90 or -110.

Exactly that! We need more Skittles-colored cars on the road. Toyota's got something kinda similar on their Tundras...

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Sounds like it'll be M1 0W-30 ESP for mine when it gets here...

I'd kill for a Miami Blue or something to that effect :)

Does anyone know if they ended up implementing the GPFs on the MY2026s? Maybe @Ducati1098 might know?
