    Good stuff. What is a good source to educate myself on how to read an oil sample report?

    I keep getting mixed signals. Some say 18k intervals or gunk up and wear the cams. Others and manufacturers say 30-60k intervals.

    Trading an MX13 for an X15. Plan on keeping it for a long time, and I want to do it right from the start.
