To add my 2 cents to this thread, I have a 2000 Base 2.7 with 85K miles in which I have been using Mobil 1 10W/40 High Mileage since it had 70K miles and am pleased with the results.

I agree with what you say but why gamble & accept the advice of whoever wants to respond on that particular day & may or may not know what they are posting about.
Search & gather more info to see what the accepted best answer is. This also minimizes duplicate threads on the same subject making searches quicker & more productive.

You are using a full synthetic oil right?
