Yes and so did the state here.

I started doing some deep research big time. Because we were trading in our G23's that was only 3 years old for G19's.
I wanted to know why. Lot of good info on it. Had alot to do with the new 147gr rounds out there to choose from.

It actually made me go and pick up a new 9 as I would have never done that in years past.
I shoot Federal 124gr HST out of my Sig 9 but havent been able to find the HST in 9mm 147gr

I gots me a new to me Volvo s60r. Should I go with full synthetic?? HIgh mileage vs extended interval??? Ow30 or 5w year round, or 10w30 for summertime???? Purolator or OEM filter. Or m1 extended life??? Drain though the oil pan or suck it up through the dipstick??? If switching to s full synthetic should I use an engine flush first???? Even with a high pressure turbo?? Castrol, rotella, M1, royal purple, Amsoil or ??? I know you guys live for this stuff... Set me straight.

All the new cool motor oil names like extended life, high mileage, etc. amaze me. Is it just a marketing gimmick? It's oil, how much better can it be?

Supposedly the high mileage have anti wear additives and detergents and other chit similar to what regular full synthetics use to have but regulations have now prohibited. The 'high mileage' is a loop hole to allow them to be used. Some people are using the high mileage synthetics in low mileage vehicles ;)
