What kind of oil do you guys run? Stick with M1 5W-30 or switch to 10W-30?
Shane recommends 10w30 conventional for break-in. I'm switching to Amsoil 0W30 on the next change.

10w40 on any built motor or any motor making decent power. I would only run 5w30, if recommended by the manufacturer, on a 100% stock car that wasn't modded. Running too thin of oil is one of the biggest motor killers. We run 10w40 mixed with 20w50 on high HP motors. M1 5w30 is the cause of more spun rod bearings than I can count, seen it on 4Gs, 2Jzs, Subarus, Hondas, Mustang motors, SR20s, etc...

I just checked my receipt and I have been using 10w40 conventional. Didn't know that was the same deal with synthetic, though.

I've sent out some emails...I'll work on getting the case that I bought swapped. Thank God Kracka asked the question because I can't afford that kind of ignorance.

I just switched my engine to Mobil 1 10W-30 last night for the big trip and tune.
