Just to follow up...I recently did an oil change and switched to Pennzoil Platinum 5w20. I then went on a 2k mile road trip to Louisiana and I was impressed. The engine sounded much smoother and the mileage was OK...(75MPH, AC on, with an average 37MPH). Not enough imperical evidence, I know....but just on the Wheel Interface Mechanism (the human behind the wheel) I am satisfied! The PP was very cheap, I bought it at Advanced Auto for 29.99 for 5 qts and a Mobil 1 oil filter. I also changed my wife's Rav4 at the same and have 2 qts to spare!

I'm getting a UOA at my next PP 5w-30 OCI. I ran Eneos and Amsoil, and the engine with PP seems to be very smooth and quiet; the best so far. Paid $3.99 per qt at O'Reilly, 3 cases before their sale ended.
