Altho, they did say that my silicon levels were a little high and pointed to not good enough air filtration. I had put in the aFe dry drop in filter when I changed the oil last, so back to the stock air filter!
I put Redline Euro 5W-40 in this time, so we'll see how the burn goes since it's thicker like a typical 5W-40. Its viscosities are similar to the Motul 10W-40 I used previously (which is a thin 10W-40) and didn't have any burn. Time will tell.

interested in this.. I need to decide what oil I'm going to run on my next oil change.
