hehehe! other find the beefy look rugged. to each his own.

kanya kanyang taste.

regardless of whether you will change oil evey 6 months, good filtration is good filtration. the only reason i suggest 10,000 to 12,000 or usually 1 year is to make the most of it. sulitin to the bones. hehehe!

para hindi ma-under utilize yung filter. safe mileage kasi yung 10,12,000 KM. you can push it to 15,000 pero am not too comfortable with that anymore. pero if you decide 6 months change oil interval, walang kaso yun idol.
I'm currently running on RP + Baldwin combo, plan to run this for a year or 10,000 to 12,00 which ever comes 1st. Its safe, am 100% certain of that. I've seen worst beating on premium oils. Try to do some reading on used oil analysis reports. You would better understand how well made oils are today. Sa used oil analysis kasi makikita mo dun kung gaano pa ka "potent" yung langis after being run for 10, 15, 30,000 KM. The number 1 thing that causes degradation on oil is contaminants, so if you have a good filter, it lessens the contaminant hence extending the life of the oil.
I'm not too particular with either HPS of API-SL, Royal purple is Royal purple. Though yung nabili ko kay jay is yung HPS (High Performance Street) variant, 10w40, yung gamit yata ni Jay ngayon API-SL.
Not a fan of the 0w20, too thin for me. Kapag kasi sobrang nipis na baka kagad mag-shear. At high temps kasi nagsheshear ang langis meaning nawawala yung bond ng mga molecules, although for short quick drives, ideal ang 0w20.
knowing my driving style, i sometimes subject my GE to high revs and recing recing mode. kaya w30 is the thinnest that i would go.
