Thanks for sharing. I always wanted to see what one of the reports said. I work in a shop every day and oil is black after 3,000miles synthetic or not. I felt a bit weary going longer than 3000 (10w-30 amsoil) but I might just go 5-6k now with more peace of mind.

Thanks for posting. How long have you been using this oil? No oil consumption? That's great for a F20c1! Looks like a fairly typical wear pattern for this engine. The F20/22 engines sure do shear most engine oils, even this one.

I generally use the Castrol but often use Mobil 1 too. I do not have any oil consumption at all. I now have Mobil 1 in there, might go 6500 and send that in for comparison.
