if using an 5w-20 , I read it's best to use one that's rated ACEA A_ and B1 or greater . The PENNZOIL Platinum 5w-20 we're using is only rated A1-02 , while the PLATINUM 5w-30 is also B1 and B5 . I believe MOBIL 1 5w-20 has a B rating , as for other manufacturers . Would have to do some searching on the web or in the store . May go to another 5w-20 synthetic that has the B rating . The ratings are printed on the label on back of the oil bottle .

Have you researched Amsoil yet? I'm considering switching to Amsoil with my next oil change. I can get Amsoil's HP 5w30 for nearly the exact same price that I'm now paying for Eneos.
