LN bearing failure

[tommy583]

Well I had my LN double row installed at 64,263 miles. As of today the car has 100,882 miles. I have changed my oil every 5,000 miles or so. The last 5 oil changes have been with Castrol 0-40 syntec. I'm still using the stock oil filter set up. I have considered going with the LN set up during my next oil change. I'm still on the fence about it.
I know Jake endorses Joe Gibbs oil. I think he also recommended Motul in the past. The indy that did my retrofit used Motul when he has done my oil changes in the past. I will most likely start using Motul or Joe Gibbs starting with my next oil change. Yes they are harder to get and around twice as much as Castrol. But it is small change compared to the cost of a new engine.
In the end I've decided that I love my car. I drove it for the first time in 5 months today. If spending $50 more twice a year for oil helps my engine last a few more years it's worth it to me. Sorry for the long winded response.
On a side note I agree that toni never has anything nice or constructive to say on any thread ever.
