I tried 5W40, and I got over timing advance codes. I want back to 5W30, with ONE
quart of 0W40, and it's been fine. |

Went from Mobile 1 5w30 to Amsoil 5w30 signature series. I guess the 0w40 would cover a wider variance of temperatures (cold start up to hotter ambient). I would just recommend what the manufacture suggest, I would guess that GM took that into consideration by recommending 5w30 due to so many other non performance vehicles recommending only 5w20.

If the engineers who designed our cars explicitly stated to use 5W 30, then that's what should be used. I use Mobil1 5W 30. I have also used GM Dexos2 5W 30, with nota bene that that particular oil was for diesel engines, which means that it has a higher amount of detergents in the oil. When I go to the race track, I use Mobil1 5W 50 because the 50 coefficient can handle higher temperatures. But for daily driving, 5W 30. Since 0W is an even lower coefficient, it's an oil for colder climates, which means it would be thinner. Use the 5W 30 like the manual recommends, unless you plan to take the car to the track. My colleagues know what they're doing. |
