the main advantage of a thinner oil is better flow in the morning (cold) and reduced wear on your parts. a 50w oil can stand up to more heat, but that doesn't man it's efficient at lower heats. A 50w is going to be too thick, and will cause wear on engine components when used in temperature ranges that are suitable for a 40 or 30 weight oil.
