I'm going to change the oil and was wonering what some of you would recommend 5W-30 or 10W-30. It's winter and currently it has 10W-30 in it.

In an older car 10-30 should be fine year round and the two are really close enough not to worry that much. The first # means thinner oil when cold and engine would crank better cold. Hot weather the higher # would not be as likely to consume oil - that's about it, T Double J Veteran / Moderator Jan 20, 2008, 12:58 PM Post #3 of 3 (1086 views) Re: Oil Change Sign In hey just to add it was recommended that the 10w30 be used in temps 0 degress and above- 5w30 when temps will go below 0 degrees but like tom stated-there close enough that if you already put in 10w30 ,you should be ok.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
