I use 0w30. It's has better ratings than 5w30 for protection, but it's a lower cold viscosity. And, M1 has better mileage claims on the bottle, so it's probably true. I put the stuff in when I put the van on the road, but I was getting better than EPA right the first tank I put the van on the road, before I really knew how to drive it.

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
