5W-20 Motor Oil ok to use?
I just got a case of Synthetic 5w-20 motor oil for free. I was wondering if this was ok to use on my G. I usually use 5w-30, but was wondering if using the 20 grade was bad for my car.
Thanks guys.

I would only use something that low in viscosity during the winter months. If you plan on it getting warmer than 70 degrees outside, I would save it for January. If you live in the south or southwest, stick to 5/30 in the winter and 10/30 in the summer. Never use the ultrawide 5/50 or thick 15/50, 20/50 in this engine, too many viscosity modifiers in the 5/50 and the VQ bearing clearances are too tight for 20/50 and possibly even 10/40.

The oil may thin too much to lubricate properly. If that happens you'll score bearings and cylinder walls...UGGG
Stick with 5-30 in the hot months, and use the 20 in colder months.
