Also note I threw in a can and a half of MOS2.

Glad it is working out for you. You will see less consumption with the 15-50 added in. Consumption will be higher with the lighter oil that is just the way it works. It will get better after a oil change or two so dont be alarmed if you consume more after just switching.
