The manual recommends it. That you seem to need additional adjectival comment like “add longevity” is likely not in any owners manual for any brand. Good luck.

I've noticed a trend on my truck....2018, 5.7, 19,900 miles...I don't drive it much so the oil gets changed yearly (~5,000 miles).
The engine is quiet most of the time, for a hemi, but every time I get the oil changed its a bit of a chatterbox for about 300 miles... just the normal startup tick that lasts a few seconds, but it only does it on fresh oil.
It's like it doesn't really like the thicker (fresh) oil... I've always used the Pennzoil 5w20 synthetic blend that the dealer puts in it.
Just an observation.
Back at you. Sorry you took it personally.Well if they figured it was important enough to say gas milege and cold starting,you can be dammed sure they'd also add longevity to,if they thought 5W-20 added to the life of the engine,lol.
Up till the EPA forced them to remove that note in 2018,all the big printed and online manuals said 5W-30 could be used.
I could care less what you use for oil in your truck,use 5W-20 if you want,but you can substitute 5W-30 if you want,as alot of guys have done,with no issues
