Thanks for the link. And I agree, the 15W-50 is for extreme track duty.

But, that 'not recommended' is going to cause issues at the dealerships for some people. Some will only go with 'recommended' And will not really think about the 'not recommended' and just tell people not to use it, even for the street.

Next fill for the street I will definitely look at the 0w-40.
