Youre fine.

You won't find a difference, and I read a release from Ford about the w20 change and it stated it was for the enviromental *** print of their vehicles. w20 will gain an additional .021434%ish increase in fuel economy, and over the life of all their vehicles sold using petroleum fuel, the impact on the environment would be substantal enough to get a blow job from Al Gore.

yeah keep the oil in the car, it is unnecessary to change it, won't affect a darn thing. I used 10w-30 mobil 1 in my 02 V6 mustang which called for 5w-20. I used it for 90k miles and it never used a drop of oil, and the motor ran like new when I traded it in. The 10w-30 my dad got free from work, so I used it, and never had a problem.

Don't waste the oil, support the environment.

To be completely honest, I would just sell the car.

You have nothing to worry about !
You are using pure synthetic, which is far more viscous than both purepetroleum ,and synthetic blends.
