Even though it was a different lm product, it still left with him with a much quieter motor. Perhaps you might want to try one of their products at the next oil change. We were both using mobil 0w40 and i also tried pennzoil euro 0w40. Burn rates were similar with all oils at about 1qt per 2500 to 3k miles, but the effect on the sound of the motor keeps me using lm.
no no no it has been fixed!!!!! It was a loose coil pack and plug ahahhahaha tell everyone if they here this check that first!
