care to explain why? I, for one, actually prefer to use the OLM instead. It is known that higher quality oils retain their viscosity longer than the typical 3 mo/3k miles. The OLM factors in temperature, driving style, and other variables to determine the "life" of the oil.

Where on the dipstick is the level? You say a bit low. Is the level outside the normal range on the dipstick?
