I like the detergency on RT6 MV because of the lower calcium and boosted magnesium which helps mitigate LSPI. The Motul probably uses some ester base stocks though.

5k is the max that I would go on any of them.
Thanks bluesubie, I'm just getting educated on all this stuff, which I guess is probably pretty obvious. My thinking on staying with 5w30 for now is based on maintaining warranty coverage and, again, I'm off the ethanol for now.
I'm just starting to learn what to look for in the uoa reports...lots of reading...my wife is wondering wtf is up with reading for days and days and days about oil. Lol.
