Nice work. I have the same fluid setup except I went for the 5W-30 Amsoil instead of the 0W-30. Figured I'd run the 0W-30 in the cold Minnesota winter here. Haven't changed the oil filter myself yet, and not looking forward to it. Have you noticed it's harder to put the car into 1st with the Amsoil MTF or am I just nuts? All the other gears engage much easier but sometimes my car just isn't smooth going into 1st. And I'm talking at a stop.
