Originally Answered: What happen if my car requires 0w20 and I put 5w30? This answer depends on the climate where you live. If you start your car with temperatures below about 50ºF, you will have much more engine wear on each start of the engine. If you are in a hot climate, there will be more wear, but not measurable.

What happens if you use 5w30 instead of 0w20?

Fuel Economy and Efficiency
0w20 engine oil typically outperforms 5w30 in terms of fuel efficiency. 0w20 oil offers superior fuel efficiency and performs better in cold weather, while 5w30 provides heightened high-temperature protection. However, the difference in fuel economy is typically marginal.

Can I use 5W20 instead of 0w20?

Both 5w-20 and 0w-20 are IDENTICAL once the car is up to temperature. The difference is how thin those oils are when the car is cold. Neither the 0w or the 5w flow enough in the cold to properly lubricate your engine. However, the 0W is thinner and does LESS damage at start up than the 5W oil.

Is there a difference between Honda oil and regular oil?

regular oil, it comes down to what your vehicle needs. If you’re driving a used car in the Vista area, then it’s possible that it will be fine with conventional oil.
