I love the concept of this oil (made in USA from renewable resources) and there seem to be a number of decent UOA's for G-OIL on BITOG, though some question its ability to hold up to extended drain intervals due to it shearing down a bit.

While it obviously isn't on the MB 229.5 spec list, I probably wouldn't hesitate to use this for the more conservative OCI's that many folks stick to. I think I'd want to see see a few more extended-drain UOA's before leaving it in for 10k.

Plus, it's hard to argue with free.

Sorry about that, jwight.

UOA = Used Oil Analysis

OCI = Oil Change Interval

BITOG = Bob Is The Oil Guy (forum)

I've gotten all 13 free 5Qt. jug rebates back from them, averaging about 8 weeks every time I do it... I called them up, and they said every time they do a New Free Deal, I should do it again, so I do... I warn my friends that a rebate is headed there way FOR ME...hehehe
