Default Mobil 1 Extended Performance ??

Has anyone tried Mobil 1's Extended Performance oil in their GS4?

According to their website,

http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/...nce_5W-30.aspx

it contain 50 percent more SuperSyn, 37 percent more cleaning agents, and 36 percent more anti-wear additives than Mobil 1. Even if I stick with the 3,000 mile interval, these additional additives don't sound like a bad thing.

Any thoughts?

If you stick with your 3000 intervals, you'd be wasting your money. Do yourself a favor....after your next oil change, get an oil analysis done. They will basically be able to tell you when the best time to change your oil is. Might take 2 or 3 analysis, but eventually you'll get it perfect. FYI I have seen oil analysis done that showed the oil to be in identical consition from a 3000 mile drain and a 7,500 mile drain. It's your car and your $$ though...
