The M1 0W40 is not just another grade of oil.
I had a 95SET and was running M1 10W30 and switched to Mobil Delvac 1 5W40 and my engine was quieter smoother and my MPGs improved by around 5-6% on my commute highway miles. Some oils are lower friction and there is more to the equation than the SAE viscosity. I reset the SID at speed on the expressway at 75MPH. The engine is fully warmed at that point. So the 0 VS 5 VS 10 issues were not involved in my MPG figures.
So try it and see for your self. Anyways, glad to see you were using the 10W40 oil. I am staring to think that the xW30 oils are not a good choice. Perhaps 10W30 is the Budwieser of oils?
