How many miles on your car?
If u have over 60-70K miles then the 15w-50 is right up your alley..if u got low mileage then stick with 5w-30/5w-40/ or 0w-40

how much hotter would you say it was running?
i dont really understand oil specs that much even after STFAs. But from past experience, it seems 5w30 came out blacker than 10w30.
