I don't think it would matter in that car and I don't think you should use 0 W in an older car , 0 means 0 viscosity which to me sounds like there's nothing between the metal and the bearing .

No. It is designed for full synthetic oil so stick with full synthetic, blended oil could cause the engine efficiency to become lower thus ruining fuel mileage and may cause so loss of hydraulic controls like variable valve timing and chain tensioners due to different molecular make up.
