it would behoove you to send an oil sample to blackstone labs for analysis... and get an oil filter cutter and see if you have any metal flakes in your filter media.

2000, better safe than sorry, unless you check the oil filter for metal flakes

oil dont even last 800 miles in my car but its not a daily driver so not a good example.. but i would say if youre on 93oct you can go 2k easy on a decent oil..

the vr1 is good oil also, just cause i sold it to you practically free dont mean its bad.. its very good oil.
