I have 5 quarts of brand new unopened 0w-30 German Castrol. It is the one that is made in Germany and doesn't burn much oil in our motors. $45 takes it, otherwise I'll just return it back to the store. Located in San Bruno/SSF.

 

is it okay to put 0w30 in a 5w30 car?

 

Could even be better since its winter right now.

 

We use to run different weight oils in our cars up in WA for when it got below freezing than the thicker stuff that was used in the summer.

 

yes you can, unless you live in the desert or something. the first number in the 10w-40 or 5w-30 or 5w-20 is the oil viscosity during start up. so 10w is thicker than 5w, 5w is thicker than 0w. The second number is the oil viscosity during operating temps. So when your car is fully warmed up, there shouldn't be much of a difference between 0w-30 and 5w-30. And in our cars, German Castrol doesn't burn much oil, if any, compared to the others.

I'm using 0w-30 in my car. I just have too much oil sitting around in the garage that I need to get rid of some.

EDIt: you're/your typo fail. lol

 

Oh I see, thanks for the explanation.

 

Bump.

 

Pep boys has 5qts of this oil + purolator oil filter for $27.99

 

On my way to pep boy tomorrow morning

 

+1 just bought some!

$30 out the door

 

Deal is good til jan2. Just bought out the sAn Carlos location today. Turns out they did have some in stock today

 

I bought some german castrol from pep boys too, only after I bought $45 worth of german castrol from autozone for $45...I'll just return it then lol.

 

Probably a good idea, then jet over to pepboys and get it for less.

Modesto still has a lot.
