I've run the Schaeffer's 5W-40 series 9000 full synthetic and the synthetic blend 15W-40. Best oil analysis results I've had.

I've run 5w40 syn from Amsoil and am now running 5w40 from Schaeffers. Amsoil didn't run as well or as long as I had hoped it would, so I'm checking out the Schaeffer's 9000 series right now. I also plan to try out the Rotella-T 5w40 to get a nice 3-way comparison. Regardless, I'm sticking with the 5w40 year-round regardless of who comes out the winner for me.
