Fwiw, I have used M1 5W-30 in our 10 1/2 yr old VetteVert, since day one,
and M1 0W-40 in our 11 1/2 yr old X for the past 6+ years; neither have hiccuped once engine-wise, and neither show any oil based malady.

sorry to scare you mD, i'm going to correct my post. I should say that my searching skills are not great, I just remember reading posts through the last couple years about some guys having bad luck with m1. Maybe i scared myself since I used to use it religiously, although I never had a problem with it!

And you are the testament with 11.5 years on your truck and she is solid as ever, so in all honesty, my comments were unfounded. I still will look to see if I can find the postings where m1 0w-40 was giving a guy problems as per his mechanic.
