I've used 5w-30 synthetic since I bought my Explorer new in 1994. Now when I go to Walmart to pick up another 5-gallon jug, I notice the heavier weights are advertised as good for high-mileage vehicles. Since my truck has 160,000 miles on it, should I switch to the higher-viscosity stuff? My Explorer doesn't use much oil (never lower than the middle of the crosshatched zone) and has only been in the shop for a fuel pump replacement and radius arm bushings. Time to switch or leave well enough alone?
TIA
