I'm switching to 0w30 with my next oil change. Castrol, Mobil 1, and Amsoil all indicate that switching over from 5w30 will not hurt anything. Theoretical gains are small, but I feel they add up. I think it would allow quicker warm ups. Good advice on the oil pressure gauge, I would make sure your pressure stays up.
