When 10w30 is used instead of 5w20, probably, only a few changes are discoverable especially when the engine is about to wear out and is old. Moreover, one of the benefits of thinner oil would be to ignite quickly. Therefore, fewer efforts are required to pump the fuel, which minimizes the fuel economy.Jun 5, 2018
What oil is closest to 5w20?
0W20 should be a acceptable substitute for 5W20, as it will (should) be in the apropriate viscosity range over the same temperature range.Jun 24, 2002

Can you mix 10W 30 and 5W 20 oil?
It should be fine, considering the temps, and that the suggested oil viscosity is usually 5W-30, so two quarts of 5W-20 and three of 10W-30 probably come pretty close to some viscosity around 5W-30.Jan 16, 2010
