this of any benefit or just a waste of money, until I change it out completely at 5000 miles?

Default If you check your manual, says they used 0W-30.....

Mine says that, and it has been discussed on this forum a lot. I just added Mobil One 0W-30 Tri-Synthetic. I needed about half a quart, I have around 2500 miles. I am hoping that was the way to go! I think we just have to keep using the same oil that we put in it consistently.

Ask your dealer. Mine told me Dino. My manual doesn't mention synth.
