I made it a couple miles down the road and realized something wasn't right...It was running kind of similar to how it is now, like it felt way down on power. I turned around, took straight back and said...tf? This thing should be running a full synthetic 0w-20. They changed it out, and back to normal.
So with this realization, plus if the avcs system uses oil pressure for engagement (like those solenoids on the bseries engines...just guessing)...now I'm wondering if, hell maybe I just need an oil change? Last change was about 14 months ago...BUT...BUT...hear me out....It's only been driven about 4k miles sense then. Think this full synthetic oil could have broken down to the point that it's ****n off the avcs system? Or am I connecting dots that aren't there >_<.

I'm running 5W30 synthetic
right now, it's not affecting the AVCS.
