Don't drag me into this. If some people are so finely tuned to their cars that they can tell how old the oil is just by driving then who am I to say they are wrong. I will continue to enjoy how much better my car runs and sounds when it is freshly washed.

Trust your gut. This took me decades of driving and getting to know all of my vehicles before giving in and acknowledging the pattern.

Granted I probably change my oil a little more early/often than some, when I get bored I just enjoy a good oil change |

I never willingly get used motor oil on my skin.

my previous car was pretty high milage and beat, that oil had a clear gritty feel when it needed changing. The oil in the FRS is never that gritty, but you can still sort of feel when it's ready especially if you directly compare it to new oil between the fingers. |

But does it have the proper bypass valve spring rating?

You are feeling the roughness of your finger more on used oil because it has started to break down and loose viscosity. New oil leaves a thicker layer between your fingers so they don't feel as rough.

Yup, I was trying to decribe that feel, lol best I could come up with is sort of gritty and not smooth.
