And here I am changing that oil at 5K. What a fool. lol I would extend the intervals, but I'm just worried about the oil filter. I use a good one, k&n, but I'm just too afraid to push the filter as I don't really know it's condition.

I need to get that test done to see what shape my engine is in.

Those results are similar to what mine are & I change every 7,000 mi. The GC 0w-30 is very impressive
