I'm switching to the german syntec 0w30 at my next change, from mobil 1 5w30. The M1 has been a great oil, running 10-12k intervals, but I am looking to save a bit of gas by going to a "safe" 0w30 oil.

Have you noticed any mpg improvement since using it?

Picking up new 2007 SE tonight. Intend to use Mobil 1 syn or Penzoil Platinum and change every 5,000 as I do in the other cars.
Any ideas on which filter(s) are best to use will be helpful.
Thanks.

It's been a long time since I visited, and don't know where all of teh data resides. I'd like to see the spreadsheet. I have a 2K SE with 99K miles on it. I use Castroil 10W/30 adn Fram oil filters. I change oil every 5k miles on average, adn teh engine seems just fine. I'd like to know more about this lab wear test, cost, procedure, etc.
