Using 10w-60
Ahhh the old school way to protect an engine, really thick oil. It is possible that the oil will thicken up and cause some parts not to be lubricated and cause some kind of damage. Stick with the factory recommended oil. Someone I know used 20W-50 oil and needed a new turbo shortly after.
Its generally just how quick the oil will get everywhere in your engine on startup. Changing the grade means that your changing the specs to what the engine was 'run in' on. Everything pretty much wears into a good place, so if you change oil spes you are changing that wear pattern

Anything you read here will be pure speculation. Why don't you have the oil analized when you change it next time, and then post your results? Assuming that you aren't experiencing any engine problems while driving, that would help answer your question better than anyone here can.
