I'd still choose the OEM.

Not if you want to keep your warranty for oil sludge.

1/2 litre of non-spec oil is allowed. These oils are the same anyway, 0w-40 just a thickened version

Default Auto-Rx is a VERY good bet with these cars. Use it 2000 miles w/dino, change for 1000mi to rinse...
then use you fancy-boy synth. Here is a code for $ off ARX...ARXNS One full bottle is fine, the best $20 you can spend.<ul><li><a href="http://auto-rx.com">http://auto-rx.com</a</li></ul>

Synth is ok unless it has a lot of esters. Just run it longer and rinse with a normal oil.
