Make sure it isn't the Extended Performance version of M1. I just read a long thread on Pelican Forums and this type of M1 has been reformulated with lower ZDDP content which means less protection for your engine. There's a very good article on oil at http://www.lnengineering.com/oil.html if you're interested.

Anyone here follow some of the other forums (maybe this one too) where they say M1 isn't the greatest for the M96 engines? I'm thinking of going to Castrol Syntec 5w40 (CdnTire).

The syntec 5w-40 is going in mine as soon as i pick up a filter at Napa.
Interesting. My bottle of M1 0w40 says "European Car Formula" on it, not Extended Performance. I did not know that they sold more than one kind.
