What say you?

I started using the best oils on the market, but ended up using cheaper oils, implying shorter mileages between changes.

I believe this has a better "engine-washing" effects, if you get me

I can see what your saying as the more often its changed the more the engine is flushed out.

We tend to uyse semi decent oil, I seem to have most converted to comma lite now, and its changed every 3-6k mile sby most.
