If you do an oil change every 10.000 miles your oil will still be good since it is made for 15000 miles.





Mobil 1 5W-30 is marginal at the top end of the viscosity range; the guys at BITOG say it's shear specs are really iffy to be classified as a 30wt.

Mobil 1 0W-40 is a *true* poly-alpha olefin (PAO) base stock oil. Not sure about the EP 5-30, but the 5W-30 Mobil 1 was proven to be a full synthetic blend with cheaper base stock. Still good stuff, but not the "best" by a long shot. Amsoil, Rotella and Redline make some better oils, just to name a few.
