All multi-grade oils have in their additive package an ingredient called zincalkaldythiophosphate which is an anti-oxidant
(keeps oil from thickening into Crisco). Im about 2000 mile it starts to break down into phosphoric acid, which is what causes oil to start turning black(not dirt). Thats the time to change it. If you use straight wts.(10, 20, 30,etc)that ingredient is missing. Oil stays golden longer.US military uses only straight wt. oils. Use 30wt in summer, 20 in spring and fall.
The only additive I use is Sliplube(which I make)
