(+1) for the LongRanger.

(+1) for the LongRanger. I'll give it a try, thanks!

Yeah, I would say it has by far the biggest impact on improved smoothness.

A secondary change for myself was the oil:

Motul 5100 or Rotella T6 10W40.

Hard to describe, but smoother than a blunt hot knife sliding down a brick of fresh, farm dairy butter.

I do not know your climate but 5/20 seems very low !
