FWIW I switched from the dealer recommended semi-syn at 100K miles (after my CPO expired) to Mobil 1 0W-40 on my 2003 lpt. No leaks before or after since I made the change. I've done 2 oil changes so far every 4K-5K miles. I live in New England so cold weather driving was a factor in my decision to go to 0W-40. Pep Boys, Advanced Auto and Auto Zone have had on and off specials since Spring for 5 qts of Mobile 1 with a Mobile 1 oil filter for $26-$29. So I figure for every 4 purchases I get "free oil" since we only need 4 qts; that's at least what I tell myself. Pep Boys have the current special in my area. Thought I'd share my experience so far....
