It's not going to make that much difference in a DD.

Back in The Good Old Days, 20 weight oil would have been way too thin. With modern materials (better bearing alloys) and construction (tighter clearances), it's just right for many automotive applications.

That said, I would keep an eye on temps and maybe even do a UOA next change. Just in case. After all, I'm just some bozo on The Intertubes.

What you are saying is more or less what I have been seeing on the internet. The temp. thing was what I figured I would be keeping an eye on.

Thanks
