Hi R.T.,
Any premium full syn is what you want to use, & you've got one in there now. The viscosity question is more a matter of personal preference, not sludge formation or lube-ability. The xW-40 full syns all have higher high Temp/High Shear ratings, meaning they provide better oil films for longer use. This is especially important if, like me, you're running your oil for 10k mi or more in a turbo. If you're still "short-changing" yourself every 3k-5k mi, then any M1 (or other premium oil) will provide excellent cleanliness & protection. Stay away from Castrol's Syntec (unless you're specifically buying the "Made in Germany" 0W-30 Syntec). It's not bad for 3k-5k mi, but it's way over-priced & isn't as durable.
