Oil weight varies quite a bit, especially on the internal tolerances of the rotating assembly. All modern engines found in new cars are built with tight tolerances so as to help with longevity and reliability. I don't see a need to add thicker engine oil to a car that is only 3 years old unless it has very high miles and or the motor has been rebuilt.
