At the risk of starting a Holy War, I wonder if anyone running 5W-30 (exclusively) has had a pump failure. The recommended 40 weight oil is going to be more prone to cavitation than a 30 weight.

As an aside, my digging seems to indicate our oil pump was originally developed for the Chevy Cruze. The "economy" (i.e. low volume) mode is supposedly good for ~3% in that car.
