Oil question

RE: Oil question
you can use 5w-20,, 5w-30,, it really it is no big deal...car will run good and for at least 300,000 miles assuming one takes care of it .. Heck i got cars that we service with over 300,000 on the engine using 10w-30 than 5w-30 and do not burn any oil or have any bearing wear ..
if you reside in a cooooold climate state,, use 5w-20 in the winter and 5w-30 in the summer
if you reside in a warm state ,, you can use 5w-30 all year around..
It will not do any damage to switch between the 2 ..

I agree about it not hurting for 1 change. I also agree that the change was to help MPG, but I think that the engines since the change have tighter clearances in the bearings since they are intended to have thinner oil.
