As far as my old 315,000 miles Tahoe is concerned, I have used 10w30 in it for 12 years and now with the high miles it does use a couple qts between changes. I am thinking a 20w50 might be a good one to use. Might even use a bit less oil too.

What you are thinking, This is the way I was Trained.
I think you will be okay doing that.
I will jump on a Soap box.
I am not against Synthetic oil at all.
I think this is What Caused all The Crazy Number Ratings.
Here is one example.
That calmed me down on the Synthetic Kraz.
I had a 5 foot Bush hog that I Refurbished.
I would cut the tractor off before Restoration.
The bush hog would stop spinning within a minute.
Then I drained the gearbox and replaced the oil with Synthetic .
That thing would spin for 5 minutes +.
As long as Stuff has got Oil it's probably going to survive.
