In Light Driving Conditions Would You Notice Difference in 5w-20 vs 0w-30 - Subaru BRZ

I believe Subaru allows for 5w-30 conventional as an alternate in the manual in the case 0w-20 is not available. If you’re interested in Amsoil 5w-30 Signature is their flagship. Signature 0w-40, 10w30 and 5w-30 would be excellent in your application. Amsoil XL is also a good option if your looking for something a little more economical.

I picked up a supply of Amsoil 5w20 SS as a store is going out of business in my region and they had it on sale at 25% off, I picked up enough for two oil changes. I have just been wondering if I could mix in a quart or two of Amsoil 5w30 as a small boost to viscosity , they should be pretty compatible I think ?

You could since the oils have pretty similar composition but I wouldn’t bother. Amsoils 20 weight oils are pretty stout and on the thick side. I’d just use it for a couple oil changes and just take it easy with no track use.
