Can I switch from 0W20 to 5W30?

Can I switch from 0W20 to 5W30?

0W20 and 5W30 are very interchangeable in our cars. You can use any and your car will run fine and will not void any warranty for those of you under warranty. After your warranty is over, I am sure 5w30 maybe the better oil to use over 0w20.

Can you mix 0W20 and 5W30?

In my opinion it wouldn’t hurt a thing if you mixed some 5W30 with 0W20. In fact you could probably use 5W30 once the warranty has expired (or maybe before).

What happens if you mix oil in your car?

What happens when you mix different oil brands? While it is not recommended to mix various brands of motor oil (such as Valvoline, Castrol, Total or Mobil 1), it will not cause any damage to your engine. What is far more important is to stick with the same oil viscosity as recommended by the car manufacturer.

Can I use 5W-30 instead of 0W 30?

About 0W-30 Motor Oil It has a low viscosity and can be used in place of 5W-30 or 10W-30. The 0W-30 is a fully synthetic motor oil type that is capable of enhancing and improving fuel economy due to its lower friction properties.

What is the difference between SAE 5w 30 and 5w 30?

5w 30 will work. It is really too light, and you should use 30 wt. 5w30 maintains its viscosity over extreme temperature changes. When its hot, 5w30 will get too thin to properly lubricate your lawn mower.

What is the difference between 5w 30 and 5w 40 oil?

5w30 is engine oil that has lower viscosity 5 and higher viscosity 30. 5w40 is engine oil that indicates the weight and viscosity of the engine. Its lower viscosity is 5 and higher viscosity is 40. 5w40 has higher viscosity hence it is not suitable at all temperatures.

Is 10w 30 better than 5w 30?

10w30 is thicker than 5w30 because it has a higher viscosity in low temperatures. Thicker or higher viscosity metal oil has a better seal compared to low viscosity oil. Thicker oil offers better lubrication of motor and engine parts.
