Hi guys,

I know I should have done it myself, but when the wife was going to shop at the store (walmart) I gave her a list of oil 5-30 mobil 1, pick up 1 5 qt container, she came back with 1 5 qt 5-20. Question, is 5-20 ok to use for 1 time, I don't want to go back unless I have to.

thanks,
Jason

 

its just fine to use

 

5w20 is whats reccomended. I run 5w20 Royal Purple with a Honda oil filter.

 

Actually, for whatever reason the 99-01 TLs say to use 5w30, but the 02-03s say to use 5w20 on the oil caps.

 

whoops my bad

 

Rachel Ray's EVOO. And I cook w/ Mobil 1 0W-20. Or perhaps the other way around.

The 02-03 recommends 20 weight oil for fuel economy compared to the 99-01 recommending 30 weight. If you have a 99-01, I wouldn't worry too much about it, unless you happen to run the car cross country non stop, at full speed.

lol.. im running 10w30 in mine right now, no biggie.

 

CAFE standards.

 

Gotcha, thanks!

 

5w-20 was actually recommended for gas milage but 5w-30 increases the longevity of our engines
