I'm spookey of 5w-30 in anything but sub-zero weather.
Returning from Long Beach to San Diego one hot afternoon I parked my Ford (350C
motor) for the night. The next AM it turned over a rev then there was a loud pop
and it began running on 6 cylinders. Investigation showed that two hydraulic
lifters had collapsed over night allowing the push rods to come out of the cup
when the motor was cranked. Like you I was using 5w-30 synthetic (Mobile 1).
Not any more.

A long talk with a Mobil Oil engineer at a trade show cured a similar

Re: what oil is recamended for 200k +
I don't understand why you folks would use an oil that technically could
void the engine warranty?
If the book calls for 10W30, then using 5W30 is just plain asking for
trouble and extra wear due to the thin oil not lubricating or 'staying
in' the gaps between friction surfaces.
I can see the difference in my mechanical oil pressure gauge when thin
oil is used or my oil gets old and thin.
I used 5W30 once because I got a 'deal' on it. I very quickly changed
it back to the proper oil because the pressure was over 5 psi lower on
the highway and especially at idle, it dived really low when hot.

Re: what oil is recamended for 200k +
Mike, my TJ's owners manual specifically includes 5W-30 as a suitable
oil for even temperate conditions in addition to the usual 10W-30. :)
