black soot comes from running rich and unburned fuel passing the cats

You're using a zero weight motor oil?
Yup, 5k intervals.

You're using a zero weight motor oil?

That oil is great stuff, along with any of the Amsoil ss line.

The "0" is only applicable for the extreme cold so once it's warmed up then it's the same as any 30 weight. It's meant to cover an operating range from very cold to warm incase you are driving in those temps during 1 oil change

Really if the temps were 70 degrees all year you wouldn't need multi viscosity oil

Yup, 5k intervals.

FoMoCo you are wasting a lot of the that oil with a 5k interval. The base number would still be really high at 5k but I know where you are coming from. It's hard to force yourself to go more than that.

Yup, I want the 0 for fast flow during Ohio winters....we will be keeping the SHO for a while and we all know how much wear occurs during cold starts.

0 is superior for cold starts in any environment IMHO. Faster flow = faster protection

Yeah I know but with DI oil dilution I'm just more comfortable with these intervals.

I'm gonna get my next change tested to see where I'm at.

I'm gonna swap out that tranny fluid at the same time  ;)

Waste or not... makes me feel better... high compression and turbos = performance. but also increased blowby... I never go longer than 5K between changes and my dealer has no problem doing that on my prepaid 70K mile maintenance agreement.  It is also very dusty here which also spurs me on.  I take them the Amsoil signature... They do the rest.

I hear ya, but you would be surprised by an oil analysis. The group IV/V synthetic base stock oils are basically indestructible and the old oil change intervals don't apply anymore...LOL I'm just saying. I do the same thing and change at 5K but I just say this because some don't know that you can go more...I know but I choose to waste so I'm not sure what's wrong with me.

Of course this thread was started by theOP to ask about sooty tailpipe tips, not oil... Back on track...

I can't think of a way in which grade might effect tailpipe emissions anyway. Volatility might.

I haven't seen the shiny of my tailpipes in months. I've just accepted them as blacked out now. Lol
