You'll be fine. Change your oil every year and every 5000 miles.

As for the headache, I recommend a good workout, or 600 mg of ibuprofen.

Ordered from two different sellers at the lowered price and both were canceled. It's back up to $129 now...sorry folks.

LexVan, thanks for the links to the Motul UOAs. My last Motul UOA was really good but the oil had only 3K. Will keep testing and extend the interval out to 4K after the next change.

The Uber cheap Motul I just received has a recent date of manufacture 4/16. My current fill had 11/14. Will be interesting to see if shear performance is reduced in the new oil.

Still waiting on 12 jugs.

You are very welcome. Anytime. Can you start a new post, and show your UOA? What were your two viscosity readings? Have a good weekend!

I emailed Motul last week and finally got a response. Motul users can now rest assured, and we can finally get closure on this

I talked to Amazon about only receiving one of four jugs of oils. They apologized, said I could keep the one for free and that they would send me four more. Package showed up - only one jug in it. Almost laughable!

Went through the same thing. After the second one arrived and second call, they told me to keep the two I received and that they would refund my complete order.

I know it's frustrating, but i'm sure you're not in dire need of engine oil immediately? It's the fault of the picker at the Amazon warehouse. Just keep calling Amazon customer service and they will make it right. And hopefully you will get fresh stock as they replenish their shelves. It's too good of a deal to get a refund!!!


BTW i just got shipment confirmation of my second order. UPS says 41 pounds. I was almost hoping for one jug!

Make that 3 of us. amazon CSR assured me they'd get the order right and once again, only 2 jugs were delivered instead of the 8. Time to call them once again.

The SKU is still alive and I am getting ready to order. How did this end up working out for you?
