yes, but on the endurance, assuming your ambient is within spec of a 30w oil, you should run that. If you feel you will be stressing the temperatures above the capacity of a 30w, you could run a 40w. A 50w is extremely heavy, and unless you have the temperatures and conditions high enough to warrant it, you'll be wearing your parts unnecessarily.

That's why it has been asked several times for oil analysis -- that will tell us for sure whether the 50w was the better choice, or if he should switch to something thinner.
