Don't use a dino 5W 30 in an engine you care anything about. If you use a thin oil make sure it is a synthetic. Never warm up an engine before driving it. Start the engine and go. Don't hit 80 miles per hour until the engine is warmed up. Don't allow your oil to get dirty. Change the oil every day before driving or install a submicronic bypass filter. The full flow filter is very close to being useless in a good engine because there is almost nothing large enough for it to remove. There are millions of abrasive particles plus water that can only be removed with an absorbing type submicronic bypass filter.
I over revved a 38 Chevy on a cold morning 50 years ago. The top of a piston broke in three pieces and fell into the oil pan. A good lesson learned. Factory installed oil filters were a lot better in those days but many were optional equipment. My 64 Rambler had one of the last factory installed bypass filters. It was just a junk spin on filter with oil lines going to it. I almost forgot, my 82 Mazda diesel had a factory installed bypass filter. These are handy because the pressure and return ports can be used to install a good bypass filter. Clean oil in a clean engine means less oil consumption. I am biased. Of the top three submicronic bypass filters in the US I sell two of them. The British have a good one that uses expensive elements and is messy to change.
There is more interest in proper filtration these days but I don't think the dirty oil and oil change system is in any trouble.
