Agree, I wasn't speaking of bleed down or performance, my discovery was more cave man, and by accident I might add. They just simply stopped ticking. It went from noisy, which I drove like that for years, to silence, when I switched from 20-50 VR1 to 20-50 Amsoil.

I wasn't expecting it and didn't change brands of oil because of it. I was just pleasantly surprised.
