Sounds fine...I've never used it but I'm using 0W-30 right now in SoCal
only think I can think of is it's kinda thin...slips past the rings a bit easy IMHO. I drove to Frisco doin' like 90~100 the whole way 500 miles and burned a little oil...enough that I saw the line drop on the dipstick...it doesn't normally burn any...I assume it was the high speed driving. I've run 15W-50 which some would argue is too thick...but it seems to work very well and you burn NONE least my K04'd 99 and my 2001 would lose NO oil with 15W-50 and it offers stellar protection if you don't have to deal with low temps very often...cause it's pretty thick. The other downer with the lighter oils is you can hear the valvetrain a bit more at startup...I think it runs out a bit easier than the heavier stuff.
