of subject a teeny bit here, but on my last oil change I switched from
syntec5-50 to mobil1 10-30 (5 qts $16 at VIP) and the vw diesel filter. 
early results indicate... mpg improvement of about 4% (2 tanks so far),
and it's a lot harder to get the oil to heat up.  Heat sinking may be
another side benefit to greater capacity?
