I just changed my oil with Mobile 1 5W30 and I'm using a Mobile 1 oil filter. I was just wondering if the 5W30 will cause problems or should I use 5W20!

No search capabilities anymore so I have to ask this!!

Thanks

IMO, you shouldn't be using 10W- anything. 5W- is better for cold (and I don't mean winter time, I mean the engine at room temp) engine starts, particularly in lubricating the upper valvetrain more quickly.

I use 5W-30 Mobil 1.

 

My mistake. I edited my original post to read 5W30 instead ot 10W30!!

 

I also use Mobil1 5W-30. It works fine. The car runs great and still gets 30+ mpg on the highway.

 

The Acura Owner Link recommend 5W-30. Since the TL Owner's manual says 5W-20, both 5W-20 and 5W-30 are okay
