Saab friends recommend I use 10w30 in my aero

My friend uses 20w50 in his classic and was saying that 0w40 will not protect an engine as long as a 10w30 would because it is too thin. Also, another friend blew a couple saab engines with 0w40 oil, and then switched to 0w30 and burned another engine before switching to a 10w40. (This sounds a little extreme. This is some enthusiast from Romania). I've always changed regularly at 3000mi. Maybe I should switch to something heavier for the summer time though.
