At 87K, that motor should be pretty healthy. Run the 10W30 in it until it starts knocking at idle.
1990 MGM: $50 E7 heads, HO cam, Holley SysteMAX lower intake, HO upper intake with an Explorer TB. LSC ECM. Lincoln logs into stock dual exhaust. K&N drop in air filter. Wide ratio AOD, 2400 converter with a 3.08 one tire fire out back. Car is less slow now. Then there's the '92 Beater. Dual 2.25" exhaust with shiny tips. Rumbles nice. Super slow. Burns oil too.
I ran 10w30 in my 89 from the time the engine was rebuilt until I parked it 110k miles later when I stole the trans for the 91. No engine issues at all.
266,000 and still using 10w-30. Do have a little knocking...the lopo knock. Tried Engine Restore for the 1st time...and it sounds like the knocking has quieted down a little. Did not do a before and after compression check, so I don't know if its helping seal the rings or not. I saw blue smoke coming out on a road trip and thought I'd give Restore a try.

220 k after engine rebuild at 110. 10w40, 25-30 pounds oil pressure at idle. It isn't the type of oil it's how faithfully you change it.Every 2-3000 miles.
