ok to go thinner weight oil?
almost 28k miles, mobil 1 5w-30 ever since after 5k (the factory oil). car asks 5w-20
would it be ok to go back to 5w-20 ?
would it also be ok to move over to syn. blend and not fully syn. motor oils?
pros and cons of 5w20 vs 5w-30 ?
this in california weather... getting pretty heated here. car is daily driver only with spirited driving habits. like to drive a little hard at some point

youre fine to go back to 5w20....
as for your synthetic blend idea.....skip lunch a few days if you have to and put the money towards the synthetic....your car will thank you.....and being that you only have to change every 8k miles or so with synthetic....
