5w-50 probably is too thin for me now that I have BE Bearings in the car (though the mains would probably prefer the thinner 5w-50).
I too am on the fence on the 5w50 vs the 10w60 Redline. I just ordered 10w60 Redline for the next change... The BE guys recommend to stick with 10w60 so I am sure everything will be just fine.
