wow so I changed the previous oil (Mobil 0w-40) to moly 5w-40 (green bottle) and noticed a significant improvement in response with acceleration and engine sound.

Oil drag from a less sheared and diluted oil fill will actually decrease hp by a small percentage.

If needed you have Barnaba Autosport in Batavia which is very close to you, and Eurosport in Bensonville which I have used since the mid 2000s.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

wow so I changed the previous oil (Mobil 0w-40) to moly 5w-40 (green bottle) and noticed a significant improvement in response with acceleration and engine sound. Much more revy and bigger growl. Am I imagining this? I don�t think I am. Anyways i didn�t drop the pan this time and noticed these bits on the filter. Tiny black bits that look like plastic. Worry? The top pic had some obvious debris from cutting the filter so I removed those from the bottom pic. I don�t want to do an oil analysis and go down a path of anxiety.
Bits of plastic are most likely from the chain pads and its normal to find them in the sump if the pan has not been pulled for a long time. If they r in the filter they have some how got past the screens? I thinl i would drop the pan to inspect.
OP - Fact is the fresh denser oil will more likely not improve anything but wear characteristics, particularly cold start protection. Oil drag from a less sheared and diluted oil fill will actually decrease hp by a small percentage.
The durametric costs $250 and is well worth it. Especially if you are a do it yourself guy.
