I'd at least drop down to a 0w. Best I can tell, it's superior to a 5wXX in every respect. I've known a few engines to burn a bit of oil when cold when dropping to a lower winter weight, but everything I know about oil tells me it should be doing a better job of protecting the engine, in addition to improving economy.
