I know there are people that use the 15W50 in their not so tired
engines too, have done so for a long time, with zero negative effect.
I don't have a history with that heavier oil. The full synthetic is so
slippery that I suspect that it compensates for the higher viscosity
issues. No one seems to have over heating problems, in fact people
have reported a lower temp when switching to a full synthetic. Should
be fine. Mark Durham.
