Nothing to lose sleep over just a opportunity to improve your car.

You should be in good shape. Search the forum for good oil recommendation when you have alot of time.

Been using a 5w-40 mostly because of the winter cold when I went to Michigan, putting 15w-40 back in after my IMS bearing retrofit install next month. The heavier weight oil quiets down the valvetrain noise I hear. I have heard that the valvetrain noise can be eliminated by replacing a spring and plunger in the cars oil pressure regulator, it seems simple enough to do.
