Jason 5/0-W40 and others: naive oil question

Hi:
I have been following the oil discussions here...
I've used M1 0-w40 (02 aero, currently 25,000 miles) for most of the first 16-18 months. I did switch to M1 5-w40 based on what I interpreted from this board that it is a better oil.
However, I have been reconsidering... Jason's recent posts about more vibration and less mpgs with 5-w40 seem to be similar to my experience. I am actually considering M1 5-w30.
My question: What is wrong with this oil, since no one seems to recommend it on this board ?
ps I do change oil every 3000 miles or less.
Thanks
