now that's one powerful magnet!

Considering it's a car, and she rarely has deviated from her normal driving style, I suspect she'll be a good tester. She always keeps the AC on, and since she has the digital climate control, which she leaves on 73, that shouldn't cause much of an issue. We're also going into the end of summer, so for the next couple months I expect fairly steady predictable temperatures.
I'm also in a catch 22. I was wanting to try a lower weight oil in the Max to see what it would do, but it's just time to change it as well. So I fear skewing the results by changing the oil (which is needed. badly.) I think there is close to 10k miles on this change, and the only thing that keeps me from worrying is the fact I put sythetic into it.
