i just recently changed my oil, went to autozone and didnt had mobil1 10-40 so I bought a synthehtic Castrol 10-40. i think i should have used 5-30. would it be much of a difference. i have 57k now. ?

Currently Mobil 1 5w-20, 0w-20 for RX300's 1mz-fe.
However, Mobil 1 is rumored to offset the increase in group IV base oil by going with the cheaper Group III base stock since late 2006. See thread in BITOG that has some hard evident.
With a demanding 1mz-fe engine, I need additional oxidation protection. German Castrol 0w30, Group IV PAO based oil, will be going into my engine in the future.
If GC go with the cheap route like Mobil and Pennzoil did, Pennzoil Platinum (group III) + Auto-RX will get the nod.
