is it alright to use 5w20 full synthetic motor oil in evo's? I accidentally got 5w20 instead of 10w30. I was buying too much oil lol and I must have looked at the numbers real quick and thought it was what I needed. If its not alright, I'll get a new oil filter and new oil tomorrow and change it out.

 

No. The 20 weight has a lower viscosity than the 30 weight. I would drain and get the 30 weight. Its $50 v. $3500 for a motor. You pick.

 

this.

 

Thanks for all the help. I already bought everything and I'm gonna change it when I get home from work. Hopefully letting the car idle for a few mins won't cause any damage. The car hasn't moved since I changed it.

 

I already changed the oil. The car literally moved 5 feet and idled for a minute with the wrong motor oil in it. Now it has fresh 10w30 and a new filter.

 

the car will be fine even if you moved it 5 feet

 

always better to be safe than sorry!!!

 

Hey atleast you caught it before you drove a lot......
