Alright, gotcha. And do you happen to know the difference between the regular ESP and the ESP Formula Oil?
And just FYI: a gasoline particulate filter is a mandatory filter for your emissions. In German, it is called a OPF or Otto Particle Filter, it works kinda similar to a Diesel particle filter which is also common and well known in the US. And yes, every Gasoline car HAS to have one of these things....they suck. Take away sound and restrict your exhaust flow dramatically....

Thank you for your input. To be completely honest, i only change my oil once a year which is at around 7k miles. I think that will do.
