If all this is being motivated by COST, then why don't you just do what the last poster suggested and use M1 0w-40 ($26/jug at WM), which is a more robust oil choice than any 5w-30 you are going to find in their oil aisle, and at least somewhat approaches the 5w-40 that the manufacturer recommends.
