Can I put 5W-30 in my 1999 Buick Park Avenue?

Answer 1

You should at least be using 10W-30

Answer 2

Why Not?

It is summer in the northern hemisphere, so the 30 is all that is important at the moment, And in the winter it will flow better than 10W-30.

Answer 3

you can, but I wouldn't advise it. unless you just like seeing white smoke come from exhaust pipe. 5w-30 is a thinner fluid, which on higher milage vehicles allows the oil to seap down past the valve seals and be burnt in the combustion chamber.

Answer 4

Check the owner's manual. Most modern vehicles use 5W-30, but check to be sure.

Answer 5

After the engine hets chilly examine the coolant point. while you at the instant are not dropping coolant, you would be seeing condensation dripping from the Air conditioner and that's a classic factor. If the coolant is getting low, you have have been given a leaking water pump, hose or freeze plug- i'm hoping not

Answer 6

yes you can put any kind of oil in that car prettu much. the numbers stand for viscosity. how thick the oil is and needs to be for weather conditions. i use 10w 30 here in fl. up north where its colder would use a different type. so if you got it ,use it.

Answer 7

yes you can unless you have a 3800 it is not recommended. 3800 engines have a larger piston clearance and you should use 10w30 or it could use more oil. Will it hurt anything? no. But stick with 10w30 for best results.

Answer 8

Why not look in the owners manual that came with your car? The answer you seek might be sitting there in your glove box..

Answer 9

Use whatever oil the manufacturer recommends, or something heavier.

Answer 10

yes
