Tecnically yes, but stick with the grade that your service manual says. For warranty issues. If you have a warranty. There are no advantages to use other grades of oil. 5w30 in winter and 10w30 summer.

Please dont put the wrong or cheap oil in any car.Decent oil will give you a longer lasting engine better bhp better mpg better smell.
I have made the mistake in the past of using cheap oil only use decent oil for a few pounds more worth it on engine wear and mpg.
Change your oil about twice a year dependent on mileage.
Mail these guys above even if just to get the right oil for your car.link above.

Can you??? Most likely you CAN. However, don't do it. Put in the oil that is recommended by the manufacturer. If they call for 5W-30 then that is what you put in.
Personally, I like the synthetic oil. It is more expensive, but it does flow much better in cold temps and doesn't burn as quickly, and will last longer. Also change the filter when you change the oil too.

Only automotive oil! Any brand of automotive oil, and the weight of the oil should be at least 5/30 weight.

You should use the weight of oil specified by the manufacturer. This info is in the owners manual.
You can use any oil that meets this weight be it Valvoline, Quaker, etc. You can also use either synthetic or regular oil.

No. your car is designed for a specific type of oil, ( 5w-30, 10w-30) etc. You could put any kind of oil in it, but your engine won't last as long as it should.

Yes just open the gas cap. Youn know the place where you put the gas at the gas station. Take the oil and dump it in its as easy as that.

Yes, but only in the respect that you can put any old food in your body. Use the right stuff and things last, use the wrong stuff and you'll be reasonably alright in the short term but in the long term you'd die quicker.
