Its been tough to figure out which way to go on this, I've been running dino ever since i got my 8, but.... *sigh* after much consideration....
I'm goin to start using Royal Purple because RG is very smart, and MM is very loud. (and i dont trust my own mazda dealership anymore...)

In Texas you should just run 5w-30 year 'round, unless you want to use the Amsoil 0w-30.
I'm not a big fan of oils with a really wide viscosity range because it is additives that make that range and they boil off eventually.
I do pre-mix "heavily" (8oz per tank), but that is not really heavy if the OMP isn't doing much, if anything. That is only 225:1.

I don't know about Amsoil specifically, but if your car already consumes a normal amount of oil (say, 1/2 quart or more every 3000 miles of normal driving), I'd use 4 oz per full tank.
If you have doubts about the proper function of your OMP (like, little or no consumption at all), you can go to what I feel is a maximum at 8 oz per full tank.
A full tank is, in this context, about 13.5 gallons.

Castrol Syntec 0w30 European formula ("Made in Germany" on the back) would be a nice addition as it's touted on BITOG as being a true Group IV/PAO oil. If you have the time, I think might even have half a bottle from changing the oil in the wife's car last week.
