Put the recommended 5w-30 in my 98 F=150 4.2 v6 engine, and changed the oil every 2k. At 80k, the Crankshaft went, hitting the thrust bearing. Sold it instead of repairing it. My daughters 2000 Cavalier was in on a recall, at a Chevrloet Dealership that is highly rated (97 years in business), I had them do the oil and they put 10-30w in it even though it is supposed to use 5w30. I questioned them on this and they said they always use 10-30w. Who knows. I think engine longevity is related to metallury and engineering, and the engineered life span.
