Quick Question although I remember reading about it somewhere...

Can we do an internal poll to check out what OIL did people used with the cars that actually have an IMS failure? I guess that could held us pinpoint any issues with particular brands or viscosities... I cant remember reading about 10WXX or 15WXX related IMS topics...

any clues?
