Hi Robert,

Another consideration is the heavier weight oil will use more fuel than the correct weight of oil. Apparently this effect can be seen more on engines requiring 0w20 or 5w20 oil when comparred to using 10w30 in the same engine.

According to Ford, using a heavier weight oil will cause less oil pressure than a lighter weight oil on a newer hydraulic system. This was talking about the hydraulic pressure required to fire the injectors on the diesel engine.
