Which is fine I'm not knocking anyone choice of oil and I never told anyone which oil to use I just stated my choice. Also training doesn't tell use what oil to use that's up to the customer to decide. When I was referring to training I was backing up my statement of the crank pulley not effecting the check engine light and that it was most likely the VVTI gear. I was also stating that because I know some people were wondering where the crank position sensor was and I said it was on the back on the flywheel side.
