That was the last oil I put in the 5.3 before I yanked it out.
I'll probably switch back to it on my next 6.0 oil change.

a brand new mpvi3 is $400 guy. anyone paying that for a used mpvi2, or god forbid an original mpvi, is brain dead.
I see the mpvi1 going for 1000$ on boards.
it's a deep rabbit hole. if you have one you want to sell. there's a market.

Just to update on my SMOG test, drove about 130 miles all short drives, o2 monitor was ready.
But what I thought was an EVAP monitor (HPTuners' VCM scanner), was actually EGR (Smog station and Tech2).
So I STILL haven't passed despite only having one monitor not ready. (Smog guy said evap would've been OK)
Will take some longer drives soon!

You don't need longer drives. You need drives where you go fast enough for the TCC to lockup,
then slow down UNDER that speed, then get back OVER that speed, then under, then over ...
EGR tends to wait to activate until the vehicle is going fast enough to lock the TCC.
Try not to decelerate with your foot totally off the gas.

how does egr work when we don't have a egr valve? anyone know what it's looking for?
so sounds like the 3 monitors Un set is not rear. can only skip 1 and that only is evap. which is good, cause I sware that never sets lol.

Thought I read somewhere accelerate hard to 55, hold steady 5 minutes, closed throttle decel for a long time....
But yea, what the heck is it lookin for?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just read Marky D's post 2 posts above, great info. Will try that out!
(Other sequence I mentioned was probably for EVAP)
Hope my trans tune doesn't make it more difficult because my TCC stays locked until downshifting like the 2015+ tunes..
Don't think it unlocks while staying in the same gear (4,5,6) ...
