5w30 is too thin at high temp to protect engine.
That's what you might think but I have found it to be an excellent choice for my 86 3.2 and have been using it for 3 years now without any adverse effects. However, the benefits are better lubrication at startup where 90 percent of wear occurs as well as cooler oil temperatures which I find hard to beat! :cheers:
Cheers,

, exhaust analyzer indicates lean mix below 2000rpm
Was the analyzer probe inserted inside the tailpipe? Does your car still have a cat?

993s tend to wear their rear tires like that too. It might have to do with the kinematic rear suspension that adds toe in during off throttle conditions.

Check the three A Arm mounting bolts in front of the A Arms. They may have come loose.
