(Viscosity 101) CLASS STARTING 5 wt oil that has modifiers that hold up like 30 wt in high temps. Or 5wt oil that works like 20 wt when hot. I don't see any difference except how the oil preforms at high temps. I keep saying this until I am all typed out read and follow your owners manual directions for oil viscosity and special directions as to tempatures and what oils are reccomended. Like Here in Texas temps never go to -35 degrees and the oil chart says between +30 degrees and 104 degrees a 10 wt might be a better choice...Pay attention to the oil label on the can bottle and make sure all the specifications match your owners hand book a good one hour read do it.

On my Honda CRV the shop put in 10-30. It caused it to burn more fuel and less power. The varible timing cams did not work correctly. This was in the summer even. Don't know what would happen in the winter.

you can change the oil but the hotter the climate keep the lower weight. Check you book to make sure substitution is okay so you do not cancel you warrenty
