I've been using AMSOIL 0W-30 in my 85 900T since it came on the market some three years ago. I also use it in my 88 9000T and in my 85 Volvo 245 turbo. Oil analysis shows low wear.
The 0W-30 will pump up a bit faster in cold, and at operating temperature, the oil gives excellent protection against wear.
I would not use an xW-50, not because it is too thin, but because it is thicker than needed at operating temperatures and will not give optimum performance.
