Not bad for one of the lowest priced dinos around during a Maine winter! Engine is wearing well and I will now begin extending my oil drains. Installed Schaeffer Supreme 7000 5w-30 and a Pure One filter when this oil was changed at the time of sampling. Will sample again around 15,000 vehicle miles.

This should put any fears of the CVT over "lugging" the engine completely to rest. Bearing wear is ULTRA low!
