It's too soon to tell how good the new Mobil 1 15k oil is, but it does appear to be better than the regular Mobil 1. I would love to see someone try out the new 10w40 EP, it looks pretty good. Their 0w40 is still good stuff too, so if you can't find GC 0w30, this is another alternative.

I would recommend the K&N or the Amsoil oil filter if you're going to do extended drains like that.
