    My 2006 2.7 has 117000 miles and has run 5w30 conventional oil its whole life. I'm switching to Mobil 1 5w30 at my next oil change (120000 miles).

    M1 makes a high mileage formula with conditioners for seals and gaskets. If you're going to run M1 anyway....might be worth using this. :thumbsup:

    Thanks! Yeah I saw that variety. I don't have any leaking seals or gaskets, so I'll try the regular Mobil 1 5w30 first and keep a sharp eye and ear on it for a while.

    Might keep you from ever having any leaks though. Proactive instead of reactive, as they say. ;)
