Jake, how different are the TAN numbers with or without flush? I don't track my car.
Different enough.. I'd rather not state numbers to keep people from throwing out technicalities.

Quote:
Is this the Valvoline you're referring to?
Yes.

Quote:
Assuming I do this (not yet decided), does the weight make any difference (for 15 minutes)?
Not really.. But I'd use something light to help with lubricity in the short run time when the oil temps won't get very high.

Quote:
What about just using the cheapest dino oil available if it's only for 15 minutes
Nope.. Use something that has a good detergency pack, it'll do the best job of flushing the polymers and etc from the previous oil.
