I also have a higher mileage engine but from the reading that I've done on here it seems to be recommended to stick with the 5w20. From what I've read about the tight tolerances in these engines it's looking for trouble running anything thicker than recommended or at most a 5w30. Don't know by experience just read a lot on the subject after purchasing my truck. Hope this helps.
