I think Lexmex is the first to try GC on this forum, he should have the most miles on oil.
My RX has 800 miles since I changed to GC, my car feels similiar to when I used the old Mobil 1 SL rated 5w-20 and 0w-20 oil: better power and less drag due to GC's lower temperature viscosity compared to other 30 weight oil.


FYI, someone just posted a GC Virgin Oil Analysis, manufactured on 3/23/07. Looks solid, I like the high TBN and flash point for additional high temperature protection for 1mz-fe.

Stilll, very silky smooth. My RX has been sitting for a week (and no track tonight as I just got back). I have about 2,000 miles or so on it now and still no problems to report and no consumption issues. Runs like a champ.
