Anybody think I should immediately change out the M1 10w-40 I just put in my Spider? I had a major brain fart and for some reason bought a whole bunch of it for both the Alfa and my truck and had 6.5 quarts in before it suddenly dawned on me that I've always used 15w-50. I think maybe I bought it thin in the middle of the winter then my brain latched on to it. I dunno. I did add some BG MOA to it though......

M1 is basically a VG oil IMO. If you're getting a good "hot" psi reading, I wouldn't worry about it. The HM oil is supposed to have stuff in it to "swell" up oil seals and stuff. Possibly but now we're doing a band-aid fix . I think once seals are gone, the're gone - same with gaskets. But, I really don't like to be in the middle of these oil questions
