Dec 15, 2005 · Not a typical spring day. At say 50 deg F, a 5W20 will be much thinner than a 5W40 oil. In fact a 5W20 oil will be thinner than a 5W40 oil at all temperatures your car will ever see, unless you like to start your car at colder than minus 10 deg F. 4. The 50 oil does not have more additives than a 20 oil (necessarily)
Jun 8, 2023 · Although 5w40 is not as widely used as 0w20, it is engineered to protect the engine against sludge buildup, deposits, and damage. Some users prefer 5w40 because it is less expensive and readily available compared to 0w20 synthetic oil. 0w20, on the other hand, is gaining popularity as it is increasingly being used in both new and existing vehicles.

Use 5w-30 and you'll eliminate consumption issues and have a quieter engine. If you're in a high ambient market consider 10w-30.
No, Either 0w-30, maybe 10w-30 probably should be fine. But not -20s. Read manual, as each car has different spec. phantomx20. • 8 mo. ago. It would be fine to use it. 5w20 is better for cold climates whereas 5w30 is better for hotter climates. Utter_Rube. • 8 mo. ago. Jul 26, 2022 · Yes, you can mix 5W30 and 0W20 whenever you need to top up your engine oil level and can’t find the right one. However, there are some things to keep in mind. Both oils should be the same brand and the same type (you can read more here about the different oil types). However, if doing an oil change, mixing different oils is not recommended.

Nov 6, 2022 · Can I use 5W-30 instead of 0w20 BMW? No car “requires” 0W-20. It’s a recommendation, not a requirement. 5w30 will be thicker (more viscous). It will offer better projection to bearings and some other wear surfaces at the expense of slightly worse cooling of some other parts and increase oil pressure delay at extremely cold temperatures.

Mar 13, 2022 · Can I Use 0w20 Instead of 5w40? Is it possible? Yes, it is if you have no other option and desire to do so. There is, however, one simple guideline that must be followed. It’s imperative that you adhere to the instructions provided in your vehicle’s owner manual.
Jun 21, 2016 · There really is no way to know for sure. There is no one size fits all viscosity. Most engines can run on anything from a 0w20 to a 15w50 technically. I would go for a 5w30. You'll find most 20 grades have a HT/HS of 2.6-2.75; Most 5w30's are around 3.0-3.1. bbhero

Feb 24, 2021 · Until I am shown differently, I am convinced that use of 0W20 is risking long-term engine wear protection. Certainly, the cold temperature qualities of the the 0Wxx is no doubt a very good thing . On "cold start" the less viscous oil should reach the critical lubricated parts faster, and certainly have much better lubricating qualities than an
