I have circa 55K miles on my 05 and I use Liquid Moly (synthetic) 5W40 year round. I checked with my Indie and he said he'd recommend staying with that 5W40 regardless of miles.

Thanks. I will get some 5w40. Do you have vibration issue on about 60-80 miled?
All wheels perfect. Very strange.

I don't have any vibrations at any speed. If you are certain on the wheel balance being correct and (assuming your are using OEM wheels) is the vibration felt in the steering wheel (indicates front suspension problem) or in the seat (indicates rear problem). If you are using aftermarket wheels, ensure you are using the correct bolt seat (conical or ball).

I have never had to top up the engine oil. However, I don't drive a lot of miles in a year.
