looks nice, wear levels look to be trending down as a whole with the 0w40. I'd say stick with it.
Mpg might be a bit lower than m1 5w30 but the uoa looks good.
It appears that you have a good match. All you have to do is to keep it going and don't mess with success.
If someone tells you you'll reduce gas mileage with an oil that is too thick, stick your fingers in your ears and repeat after me, "La, la, la, la, la", until their lips stop moving.

The fuel mileage has not changed - not that it is what I would call good to begin with.
It does appear to "like" this oil, so I will likely put another batch in at ~10,000 and we will see how it goes.
