Default 5w20 to 5w30

This question is for owners of gt's that call for 5w20 oil. Has anyone changed to a 5w30 weight oil? And if so did you encounter any engine noise? I would like to run a 30 weight oil but all the ford service advisers said to stay with the 20 weight oil because of the overhead cam set-up.

Casper?? any thoughts?

I run mobil 1 as of now. And I live in okla so the cold is not a factor. Thanks for any input

Why do you want to go to a heavier weight?
