1. The exhaust has gone from unbelievably loud to sweet but still throaty,
before it was too loud, used to deafen me. No
2. The car idles better If the oil was old it would effect smoothness. Tension may have been wrong on belts
3. the car does not get as hot. New oil has better thermal transfer properties
4. the oil pressure is higher New oil
5. the car pulls better, accelerates better. New oil.
I am at a complete loss, it is like a new car...WHY??
