What happens if I use 0W-20 instead of 5W-20?
Nothing. In fact I recommend that. Both 0W-20 and 5W-20 are 20 viscosity oils inside your engine when it is at operating temperature which is most of the time it’s running. But a 0W oil will have a better flow rate during cold starts than a 5W oil and will thus lubricate better when first stating your engine.
Can you put 5W-20 in a 0W-20 truck?
If SAE 0W-20 synthetic oil is not available, SAE 5W-20 conventional oil may be used. However, it must be replaced with SAE 0W-20 synthetic oil at the next oil change.
What oil is best for 6.2L LS?
6.2-Liter V8 Engine
It will require SAE 0W-20 viscosity grade engine oil.

Can I use 5W30 instead of 0w20 Silverado?
The small difference in viscosity would not be a problem. I used 5w-30 full synthetic insted of the recomended 0w-20 in my 2015 6.2 silverado will something happen to the engine? It won’t immediately destroy anything, and in the summer it won’t make a big difference.

Can I use 5w20 instead of 0w20 Chevy?
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.
Can I use 5W-30 instead of 0W-20?
Using the proper viscosity motor oil will help protect and maintain the performance of your vehicle’s engine. Thus, always refer to the manufacturer’s recommendation while your vehicle is under warranty. **if you have a car that recommends 0W-20, do not use 5W-30 – back # of vis-grade must match or it is a no-go.
