Motor Oil Question

My 00 Expedition has a 5.4L engine and 84,000 miles. Been using 5w30 motor oil since I got it in 2000. I change the oil every 3,000 miles or 3 months whichever comes first.
The dealer just suggested I switch to 5w20 for my oil changes.
Anyone hear anything negative about switching to 5w20?
Am considering it...
Thanks
