I've been going 7500 and UOA's are still same or lower than listed averages.
There is some viscosity reduction happening though. It goes from low side of 40w to high side of 30w.
The guys at Scheaffers say it's not a big deal. The truck doesn't seem to care.
I've gone to the 5w40 per this board. The 5w40 is supposed to be on the high side of 40 spec so maybe it will stay inside the 40w spec. I have around 4500 miles on the 5w40 as of today and again, the truck doesn't seem to care one way or another.
