Yes definately get that oil out of there. That was the oil for the last High revving M engines, and some people had the theory that it was partly to blame for the rod bearing issues in the S54, S65, and S85 engines. Oil too thick for those M engines with such tight tolerances.
They put 5w-30 in mine at break in which I'm fine with in my warm climate. If I lived in colder parts of the country I'd want the 0w-30 I think especially with winter coming.
