M1 10W40 is specifically *not* ILSAC GF rated, nor is it (I don't believe) API SM rated, but rather API SL. That would indicate to me that it has a full measure of anti-wear zinc disomethingphosphate. Also, the 9-5 runs a relatively high oil temperature, and the heavier base oil used in the 10W40 gives you some extra inherent viscosity. If you believe the "extended performance" then you might go ahead and run it for 6000 miles, rather than 5000, to get the extra dollar's worth. Do run an oil sample though.
