Yeah the rods,pistons,and rod bearings looked really good for having 107,000 miles.If my tensioner wouldn't have went,It would still be running strong today.

you went from Mobil1(synthetic) to GTX (conventional) of course your going to get worse protection,performance,and mileage. lol. Castrol edge and Castrol titanium are syntec technology(full synthetics).After seeing my bearings,I am die hard Castrol.And mileage? like 22-25 mpg.(e85) and I drive it hard everytime I drive it.
