I returned to GC this spring after using some dino on a short winter OCI. By late summer I noticed ticking after start-up. My car has never ticked before.

My last change interval lasted 6 grand, after the analysis results of that sample of the GC Blackstone recomended to push the next one to 7,000 miles.

The 3000 miles was 2 years for me so I don't drive my car very often. When it is driven it is driven VERY HARD though so I hate to go more than 2 years on it.
