What are your thoughts on changing the oil viscosity to a higher grade as an engine wears more?

Asked by woodcutter (16377points) August 4th, 2010

Say the motor has over 100K on it and the maker recommends 10/30. Instead use 10/40 or some mixture in between to take up the wear in order to maintain proper oil pressure. Is this a good idea?
