Picture the ad agency meeting, with a bunch of young turks trying to figure out how to boost sales. Idea: Let's change the label on our thicker oil to "High-Mileage". Then we can tell everyone with over 60K that they have to use the special oil!!!. Great idea, but we'll have the cost of new artwork for the new labels. No problem, jack the price up about 25 cents a qt.
Done!!!
I currently use AMSOIL 0W-30 in my 88 9000T (140K) and my 96 900SET (90K).
Unless the engine is quite worn, no need to use any higher viscosity, at least not using synthetic.
Since you are determined to use non-synthetic, which to me is like continuin to use a computer with a 286 chip, probably not a bad idea to go with the higher viscosity.
