I like it and use it, but it's expensive.

So the thinner it is the quicker it will circulate. The heavier the oil is the longer it will take to circulate which oviously puts more pressure on the engine.

If that's the case then why don't you use 0w-20??????? Now who's stupid?

In Vegas, 10W/30 is fine year round. I would avoid a 10W/40 though since wide viscosity range indicates pretty heavy use of viscosity modifying additives which are not lubricants, but thickeners. However, absolutely use synthetics as they do a much better job at controlling deposits and are more shear-stable under extreme load. And you can safely go 7500 miles between changes per the manual if you are still under warantee. Im out of warantee and go 15000 using the Mobil1 5W/30 extended performance. Costs a bit more up front, but saves money going 4X the normal interval of 3750. Changing every 3000 is not necessary and wasteful of perfectly good oil.
