You can try thinner oil, just be aware your engine was not designed for it. I would get a baseline of how your engine normally wears before testing thinner oil. Thinner oil will almost certainly wear your engine faster. How much faster is the question you need to know as the owner. To know this, you must have an oil analysis done when you change the oil.
