Randy,

If you do have a ring blow-by and oil leak from that, you'll have a (probably noticable) loss of power or a rough running cylinder. Going to the proper higher viscosity oil will either keep everything the same (if you really don't have a problem) or give you your original power back (if you did have a minor leak). If you have a noticable power loss even after the oil change, then you may have to continue the diagnostics, as it could be serious (or it could be minor!).

P.S. please turn off your CAP-LOCK, no need to shout, we're all close by here. :-)
