Amsoil Signature Series 0w30 is good for 17500 miles or one year under severe conditions (35,000 miles or a year under Normal conditions). As an AMSOIL dealer I hope you'll go to TruLube.com and check it out.

Lots of oil info on this forum, use what s best for you.

Did you use M1 AFE or just plain old M1? Most people like Penn Plat, but Edge now the price is down should "slaughter" M1. ExxonMobil tend to use group iv PAO base oils which do have good cold flow but do NOT have good wear or solubility characteristics. You'll see high Iron wear and engine noise complaints about M1 all the time.
