Why are you using Mobil1 EP on an engine still under warranty? Even Mobil1 states on their site not to go the full 15,000 miles if the car is still under warranty....using EP is a waste of money if the engine is still under warranty...I would not go more then 5,000 miles between changes for warranty reasons...switch to Mobil1 0w-20 or 5w-20 and go no longer then 5,000...just my suggestion....

Well, admittedly he did say it was 4500 on the oil change, not 15000.

Is it normal for the magnet to be offset like that?
