5w50 would be a change in the oil when it is operating at higher temperatures. You should be fine with 5w30, you just need a ester based oil. Ester works better in higher temps so it doesnt heat up as easily. Redline is what I'm currently using because it is a fully-synthetic ester based oil. I noticed about 10~20 temp drop when I switched over.
