I just changed my oil at 1172 miles and I'm using the Ester Oil and the factory filter. Next oil change I will be using the PL 14610 and hopefully will have some good info on the oils. I'm liking the Castrol 0w-30 so far, just want to hear about the feed back.
You'll be fine. It may be thick for a 30-weight, but it's not too thick to ensure proper operation of your valvetrain.
