Did a quick search and found this on the Valvoline site FAQ:
Is it ok to use 5w30 in a car if the owner's manual calls for 5w20?
Some manufacturers now use 5w20 engine oil to maximize fuel economy for certain applications. Using a 5w30 type of oil may cause a slight decrease in fuel economy. For maximum engine performance, Valvoline suggests following the recommended motor oil viscosity and maintenance schedule provided in your vehicle's owner manual.

Thanks for reply peoples!
Y'all got technical with the weights it's funny!
I usually run 10w30 amsoil and I burn zero. Whereas motul 5w30 I burn half a quart. Mobil1 5w30 1quart!!!(first time I got the car and never used it since) You all know that already. And I only use oem filters. I am fully stocked with that!
I know online is cheaper etc but Really the point if this thread is obtaining access for the two oils locally since they are hard to find or expensive.
Winchester is charging 10.95/qt!
Hmm I might give it a try since the price is somewhat decent w/disc
how much?
do you know how much?

I buy it by the case.

on Junction & Charcot in San Jose (inside Club Autosport) keeps a ton of Amsoil on the shelf.
It's where I get mine, they keep gallon jugs so it's cheaper for an oil change

My uncle is a retired Santa Clara County Sheriff and he said they used Amsoil in their vehicles so he started using it in his and now swears by it. Is there a difference with the Euro? Like the difference between the Euro and US Mobil 1?
