Looks like my 111k service is stacking up like this:
- Oil and filter change. Switching to Pennzoil Euro 5W-40 from 0W-40 due to unavailability of the 0W-40. Even the 5W-40 I had to get from eBay so I may switch off Pennzoil entirely and find something suitable next time.

They spend a lot of R&D on exhausts. The idea that the factory resonator was "just a tube" ignores resonant tuning principles. They are tuning to diminish certain objectionable frequencies and/or harmonics and even accentuate other, "pleasant" ones. We are far from the days of "this exhaust is ...
