When I questioned him regarding avoiding this issue he recommended regular changes using 0W40 and to consider blocking the frequent switching with DOD.

So I have ordered a Range device to stay in 8-cyl mode.
I'm hitting close to 1 year before even hitting the mileage on my oil, roughly getting 2,000 to maybe 2,500 miles on an oil change (at most)... However, I do also have the Range device installed and will leave it installed, I don't give a crap about gas mileage on this car as this is my "fun" car... If I'm getting too many miles per gallon I'm not having enough "Fun per Gallon"!!!
