oil change & other stuff

Howdy. My '03 Aero is ready for an oil change. It's got just a bit over 14,000 miles, at 10,600 it got the free service from Saab. I figure since it's the synth blend in there now I'll do the change to Mobil 1 before 15,000.
I think I'm gonna go with the "new" Mobil 1 5W-40 for this change. I live in the DC area so we get some pretty hot but not ridiculous summer temps. Any reason not to use this as opposed to the 0W-40 (which I used at the 5k change)? Or what about the 15W-50? Does that meet the specs, and if so is there any advantage/disadvantage? I'll be using the PureOne filter and the oil will be in the engine until the 20k service.
Last question: gonna rotate the tires too. There's no diagram in the manual, so I think I'm gonna do what I've always done on my Saturn and slide the front tires straight back, and move the rear tires up and switch sides. The tires are not unidirectional so this should be fine right?
Thanks,
jeff
