Don - The car makers spec 5W20 spec instead of a heavier oil primarily for fuel mileage - it gains 'em a few tenths of a mpg in EPA certification testing. Beyond that there's no reason heavier 10W30, 15W40, etc are not acceptable. At the farm where I occasionally pitch in, the local oil jobber has installed a 200 gallon bulk tank in shop and keeps it filled with 15W40. For many years the oil has been used in EVERYTHING on the farm with an engine: 855 Cummins turbodiesels in the big tractors; older 4020 gas & diesels; antique Deere, IHC and MM tractors; the owner's wife's Buick; even her lawnmower. About the motors that don't get 15W40 are the 2 stroke motors in the chainsaws and snowmobiles.
