What is 5W-40 synthetic oil?

5w40 motor oil has a winter viscosity grade of five, meaning it’s less viscous at very low temperatures, compared to, say, 10w40. It has a hot viscosity grade of 40, which means it is just as viscous as 10w40 at high temperatures but less viscous than oils such as 15w50.

What happens if I put 5W40 instead of 5w30?

In practice, this means that each oil is just as viscous at lower temperatures and will remain viscous at -30°C, however 5w40 oil outperforms 5w30 oils at higher temperatures, being effective up to ambient temperatures of 50°C, as opposed to 30°C.

Can I use 0w40 instead of 5w30?

Can I Mix 0W-40 With 5W-30 Engine Oil? Yes, if your car manufacturer approves it. If not, you should only use the approved oil. 0W-40 and 5W-30 oils can be combined because 5W-30 is thicker oil than 0W-40, and the extra, lower viscosity will make the start-up oil flow easy and efficient.
