1)- I use 10W-30 Mobil 1 and have had no problems.
2)- Once I am done using the free oil changes I got from the dealer; I
will be changing it every 5,000 miles.
3)-I have kept an accurate record of my mileage and it stayed the same.
I get between 16 and 17mpg.
4)- Depends on how long you consider the break-in. When I got my first
oil change at 2,000 miles I had the Mobil 1 put in.
Hope this helps!
