    Nice job...the 5-30 Redline actually works like a 40 weight oil at temp which is why it fixed that oil issue.

    I have done the magnets on the oil filter too lol...and the magnets on the auto trans cover on another car my cop car lol.

    Don't bother wasting money on testing the oil not necessary I have already performed the test for you over 15 years. Its the best oil on the market. Its all I use on any car I own. Never ever any engine issues. There trans fluid the D6 is just as awesome.

    There's a better way.

    I think there is very close similarity between DEXRON VI that Tesla also use to cool their motors with Toyota WS. They are also compatible with Honda DW1, Mercon LV, Nissan Matic S and some Benz. Aisin who made all Toyota transmission sell this fluid that will work on DEXRON VI, WS, DW1, S, Mercon LV, etc.

    Hey Ed, I appreciate your comment. I've been running Redline D6 since 50k miles, and then extended my change interval to now (oops) @154k miles. I'm going to change it again and was debating fluid. Toyota WS vs Redline D6 again. Hmmmmm. Any data since your post? Any thoughts? Thanks
