Good to know.

How short are your driving habbits, can you elaborate some averages and upper lower limits.

My car was mostly used for daily 5-10min trips to gym ~20% of the usage and 80% to and at the track.


Fuel dilusion is also from short trips. I take short trips. Need to drive more 😄

Almost all short trips. I change oil before track weekend. Then daily drive the oil until my next event. In this case it was about 6 weeks. Same short trips prior to changing. So track was first then daily until next change.

I'm not worried about the tiny amount of fuel. That's what the oil is designed to help protect against. It's not from the track. It's from my driving habits and not getting the oil up to temp often enough 👍

That's good feedback. Maybe that's one advantage of 0W-20, it gets up to temp faster.
