Will using 5W20 instead of 5w30?
Mixing 5W-20 and 5W-30 (or any other oils for that matter) may lead to faster wear and tear of your engine and eventually cause problems with the basic functioning of critical engine parts. And even if your engine allows it, you won’t get any noticeable results by mixing different viscosity grade oils.
What’s the difference between 5w30 and 5W20?
5w20 is an engine oil type characterized by its winter rating of 5 and an oil weight of 20 in warmer conditions. It is less viscous compared to 5w30. 5w30 has the same viscosity rating of 5 during winter but an oil weight of 30 during hotter conditions hence it is thicker.
Is 10W40 better than 10w30?
10W40 oil has a higher viscosity, retaining more thickness than 10W30 as the temperature rises. In that case, 10W-40 motor oil would technically provide better protection against engine wear contact in higher temperatures.
Which is better 20w50 or 10w30?
It really comes down to personal preference. As your engine does put out significant horsepower, we would lean toward using 20W-50. If your engine sees very light duty or is built exceptionally tight, 10W-30 would be fine. But again, if you twisted our arm, we would give 20W-50 the nod for the thicker viscosity.

What happens if you use wrong engine oil?
The wrong engine oil can cause engine damage because it does not properly lubricate its components. This will lead to metal-on-metal contact since the moving parts are not being lubricated. Friction quickly follows, causing engine parts to wear.
What will happen if I use 5W-30 instead of 5W20?
If you use 5w30 oil instead of 5w20 when it is not recommended or approved by your owner’s manual, it can void your car’s powertrain warranty, reduce engine efficiency, and possibly even damage your engine in the long run. Hopefully, this helps!
What is Castrol GTX Magnatec?

Is Magnatec a bad oil?
Regarding Magnatec, it’s by no means a bad oil, quite the opposite. But all that stuff about intelligent molecules that cling to engine components is marketing BS, to grab the attention of people who don’t know much about oils. Marketing aside , I thought Magnatec has some ester and clings better.
