If I understood correctly about what I read and have been told about the new CJ-4 oils, they should not be used in extended oil drain intervals as the oil will not hold up do to the changes that have been made to the oil.

I forgot to say they will also charge us more money for this new oil along the lines of $2.00 to $3.00 per gallon. They claim it took a long time and a lot of $$ to make this new oil or so they say anyway.

all just to meet the new EPA requirements. . .

IIRC some states are fileing a lawsuit against the EPA about exhaust requirements on power plants and vehicles saying the requirements are too strict.

I doubt it will go thru, but it would be nice to pull the reighns on the EPA and get them to stop this crap.
