Thanks for all the input. Believe it or not, the car only has 70K on
it. It was a grandma's car that was only driven to church on Sunday's.
1 owner. My wife got it 2 years ago with 23K on it. It is nearing the
end of summer, so should I worry about changing it to 10W/30 or
2000-3000 Miles... It is not the cost of the oil... its the time.....

Does the owners manual say anything about alternate oil viscosities? I have
a vague recollection GM had gone to 5W-30 before that....
