I used to use their full syn in my 98 Pontiac Grand Prix. Car had 257,000 miles when the new-ish and upgraded double roller timing chain broke....no fault of the oil. Sample and analyze once a year... Only change when they tell me to. That oil was their signature series rated at 35,000 miles. Speaking of, I just checked and the marine diesel oil is rated at 50,000miles or 600hrs.
