Ok good to know, so should I just switch to Castrol Sythetic or pony up for the RP? I dont mind the added cost I just want to know if its actual making a difference?

For the amount of miles you are driving, I would go with Amsoil Synthetic. It lasts up to 25,000 miles and is a very high quality synthetic.

AMSOIL - Signature Series 100% Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil (ATM)

Thanks for the suggestion, despite it being rated up to 25k how often would you change this oil? Stay on the 3k schedule?

No no no haha It's expensive because it actually lasts that many miles. If you end up getting it, go at least 15,000 miles on it (25,000 if N/A)
