why dont u just use Mobil1 (silver cap) for your 3K mile since it's not a full pure synthetic like the high-end german castrol? i did mine last month no clicking no issues.

Most of the best synthetic oils are partially or completely Ester-based. Check out Motul 300V Power Racing 5W-30, Eneos, etc.

Ester oil is not a gimmick, but not using it does not mean you lose all your durability. For the DLC coated valvetrain though, I'm sticking to the Ester oils. To each his own.
