(+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 think you mean 5w40? Or 15w40? Rotella doesn't come in a 10w40 weight.

Yes, you are correct Yata-G. I did mean 10W40 Motul 5100, or 5W40 Rotella T6.
