I think Perfectlap's suggestion for driving is ideal. No sacrifice at all, and no guilt for pushing it a bit. I do not see it as being overworried about IMS - just doing what you can to avoid an unlikley issue (like taking an aspirin every day for my healthy heart).

I have read on the LNE Engineering site that 5-40 oil is best, but it wasn't clear (at least to me) if that helped even if the seal to the IMS bearing had not been removed. I am going to increase the frequency of oil changes to 5,000 and use Castrol or RP.

I may be one of the people Pbanders feels sorry for, but I drive at the RPM I want, and use some common sense too.
