It only costs 20 bucks through blackstone so how about it??

i run valvoline HP 20W50 in my rx-7. 20W50 is recommended by my mechanic and rx-7 owners everywhere, since the engine runs hotter.
as the oil heats up (and stays hot here in texas), it will flow better. also, i imagine the heat capacity of oil is dependent on temperature, so if the oil is hotter, it might carry the heat away just as well as a thinner oil and yet protect better.
lots of variables here...
