Not sure if this is the best idea, but this is what I have done with older engines for years and it works. I run 20w-50 oil. After each oil change I add a quart of Lucas oil stabilizer. Doing this I have no leaks and the engine doesn't burn through oil. If I run 10w-30, my slow leak (rear main seal) comes right back and I burn through the oil in a month. Running the heavier weight oil has disadvantages. It makes for slower starts in cold weather and can create some sludge. That's why I do an oil change with 10w-30 twice a year. I have 240,000 on my Toy and 150,000 on my Mazda and both run great.
