I would not put anything but Valvoline Racing 20W50 into this engine for the rest of its life.
The oil you have now will destroy this engine, it is not made to run on water,
and thats essentially what you have done.

The lifter also have been known to go bad and swapping all of them seems to be a good way to go.
NOTE you can use the lightweight VW lifters,
talk to Greg Brown for further info about this modification .

That said, the best thing to do now is refill the with the Valvoline 20W50 Racing oil and drive it like you stole it
