no real need unless you plan to work the engine excessively hard on a regular basis.
Stick with the 5W-30 you will get better fuel economy as well.

Unless you are burning oil, I'd stick with the 5W30. If you are worried it will break down too quick in the heat, just change it more often.

From Owner Manual:
<div>What Kind of Engine Oil to Use</div>
<div>Look for three things:</div>
<div>. GM6094M</div>
<div>Use only an oil that meets</div>
<div>GM Standard GM6094M.</div>
<div>. SAE 5W-30</div>
<div>SAE 5W-30 is best for the</div>
<div>vehicle. These numbers on</div>
<div>an oil container show its</div>
<div>viscosity, or thickness. Do not</div>
<div>use other viscosity oils such</div>
<div>as SAE 20W-50.</div>
