+1 what Cheryl said....

The additive package is most likely the difference, as the indicated weights were similar.

I would only change early if it's keeping you up at night.

If your car starts to go off-road then change it. If it stays on the pavement then you're okay. As others have already said, there's no difference in the quality of the oil. Now if you had mixed dino and synthetic oil at the ame time, then I'd drain and refill the oil.

Btw, always make sure that you put the left sock on your left foot as well.

LOL, GEE-WIZ

Dirrtybear, If it were mine, I would just drive it and change it out at the next regular scheduled change. IMHO, it should be no probs.

Actually some people prefer the T&SUV M1 over regular M1 due to the stronger additive package.

You're fine. It's for a 4-stroke engine, and the same wieght. It's just a marketing thing. Drive as you would, and change at your normal schedule (approx 7500 miles)
