Did some hunting on BITOG and it seems like the consensus is there's some minor changes to the oil formulation which shouldn't significantly impact the quality of M1 if you're following the shorter OCI that I'm sure most of us do.

Personally, I was debating switching to Rotella T6 or something fancier, but I think I'll stick with M1. I haven't seen evidence that switching to any of the higher priced oils makes enough of a difference vs the cost, especially if you're not waiting 15,000 miles to change.
