engine oil
 

Hi
my car running 5000 miles now, wants change the oil but cant find 0W-20 oil
I only found 5W-20 TOTAL. should I use it?

no

The Subaru dealership will sell you 0w20 and (in my case at least) it's the best price available.

just no! so why?

not available

Your oil cap and owners manual say 0W20.

Amsoil synthetic. Good stuff!

You can't find 0w-20 anywhere or order it online? Did you recently relocate to the Arctic Circle?

Where on earth is ..... KSA .....??

If you can't find 0W-20, I reckon your car will survive on 5W-20.

5w20 is close enough, it just can't flow QUITE as well when the oil is super cold (like -40° instead of -45°). Just get a good full synthetic and you'll be fine.

its Saudi Arabia and really can't find 0W20 only find this one check this 5W20

Well, SMOKY since you're in Sauda Arabia (where it doesn't get too cold) that product should work just fine ..... ;)

I though the consensus was the using a w30 or even 40 could better for our engines ?
