Yeah I can, I just don’t like too 😂, but at least I’ll know it’s done properly. I changed the oil myself this morning back to 5/30. I’ve been car free for months now, it’s not bad at all, using the city bus and scooter, but I live in a real walkable area with everything nearby. If I didn’t get a...

Don’t think I have to worry about that in Florida, lol. I always warm my cars up before driving to get the oil and transmission ready. I heard 5/30 is better in the heat too.

Thanks guys, I just decided to buy some Rhino ramps and changed it back to 5w30 conventional oil myself for my own peace of mind. Could be just me, but after a test drive seems to drive a little better. Not taking it back to Valvoline again after they put the wrong oil and I had to go back...

That sucks, do you know what the symptoms are of that happening so I can look out for it?

Even if it never overheats?

That’s weird that different countries have different oil viscosity ratings. My other concern is disturbing the VVTI engine with a thinner oil or oil getting thru piston rings. I had a “traumatic” experience with my last car trying to do the right thing and everything turning to crap quick. I...

Yeah everyday it’s another problem lol. I just can’t believe this stupid shop put in 5w20 when the cap clearly states 5w30, people are stupid. But, hopefully it’ll be okay, I have a trusted mechanic real close to my house so it’ll be a short drive to get it replaced. Only about 20 miles driven...

That’s what I was thinking too, however I still think I’ll go back tomorrow and switch back to 5w30 to be safe. My old car crapped out and developed a really bad rear main seal leak after switching to full synthetic and I’m worried about doing anything wrong. I really don’t need anymore problems...

Oh ****, I haven’t put many miles on it since the oil change today, hopefully it’ll be okay. Going to switch it to 5w-30 tomorrow to be safe then, thanks! What I don’t understand is it really that big of an issue. Has anybody had engine problems from switching to 5w20, I mean it’s not that big...

Hello, I bought a car from a friend and the oil cap says 5w30, but my local Valvoline put in 5w20, I guess they used his old info from a long time ago. Any help would be appreciated, I don’t want to cause any leaks or engine problems from using the wrong oil weight. It is a 4 cylinder engine...
