I agree... if mitsu does it, then its on them, Me, I am going by expererience, and what the book says, thats why I am going the 5-30 route. not that there is anything wrong with either, just thats what I am doing. I dont really care for 10-30, think its too thick, but I also think 5-20 is too thin. (this from the guy that runs 0-20 mobile1 in his highly built Si) i know I know, but hey, if its good enough to last through 320k miles on my bro-in-laws chevy, then 5-30 is fine for my mitsu. (guess what I am saying is that if it didnt cause any harm, and helped him make it that long in a chevy, and you know it was the oil, cause no chevy ever runs that long without help from god, then it should be fine here.)

A friend of mine did 430,000 miles on an old Chevy truck, but he put a lot of work into it. When he got the car, it had a bit over 100,000 miles on it and he changed a bunch of stuff, strating with the belts, the oil pump (which he says enabled him to go the 400k miles), water pump and I think he even replaced all the gaskets and stuff.
Goes to show you, if you really want to run a car for a ton of miles, you can... although I say screw it and get a new car. It's chaper, easier, and you don't have to worry about be going to a job interview and the car breaking down.
