I'm running Shell Rotella T6 5w-40 year round here in Jersey.
That's amazing! The only time I've ever gotten more than 3000 miles on a quart was doing a quick turnaround trip from Arlington, Tx to Hartsville, SC. I'm going to have to take a complete look at that CCV system and dipstick tube on this interval.
