With the thicker oil I have better oil pressure .The truck does not overheat while crawling in 100 degree temps through the desert. The valves do not rattle under strain in higher elevations and under a load. As i said my last toy sold running strong at 300K and i abused that poor car. 6cyl cresidda it would get rubber in 3 gears with 300K on the clock . I had a old ford truck same deal . The thicker iol seems to keep my junk running strong.

Like Beno said it is preference in the end. And where you live and how you drive. I also dump a can of LUCAS in both toys so cold starting is smoother more sticky oil every where inside the engine

The only real noticeable difference is it takes the engine longer to get hot with the heavier oil in there
