That's good info. I guess when I run out of my stock of 10W-30 I
should consider going with the 15w50, or probably the 5w40 would be a
better "match" for the factory recommended range, assuming it exibits
the same performance. I'll be interested to hear how you make out
with the 5w40.

Are you currently doing regular oil change intervals, or do you send
the samples out and only change the oil when it is "used up"?
