About 90+ % of engine wear occurs in the first few minutes of running and before the engine reaches operating temperature. The heavier oil will only add to that wear.Heavier oil is really tough on rod and main bearings if the engine is not allowed to warm up before being put to work For that reason, I use a good grade of 15w40 in my tractors including the old ones.
Oil has two functions. It lubricates and cools. Multigrade oils do a better job of absorbing the heat of an engine, in my opinion.
