I used M1 for my first oil change. I read some articles about the declining efficacy of the product (not meeting certain standards/new formulation) and discontinued using it. I now run a major brand European formula, ~$24/5 quarts. And, run the WIX/NAPA Gold filter.

I'd run a full synthetic that meets the standards, checking the condition of your oil each change (check that filter, too). Don't get so caught up in brand names instead making sure the oil meets efficacy standards. Change it regularly.

Cheers!
