That's cool.

I've started with a syn oil change at the dealer. (Mobil1) after that I've used RP many years with 6000km intervals. RP became hard to come by, or prices in local shops are way too high.

Then I've used Prolabs oil for a while. They are a local company but with time, I've lost contact with the person who could get it for me.

In recent years, I've switched to Amsoil.

Today, I noticed my rear bumper being a little black. Makes me wonder if my engine is taking a little oil. I did not get a full gallon of oil out on my last drain. I'm also abusing the engine a little as well, since it doesn't get many chances to fully warm up before I arrive to destination for the past 10years.
