Good one op

Pls my car Corolla 2012 has 0w20 as an engine oil spec
And manufacturer wrote 5w20 if the former is not readily available
Someone told me its same with 20w50

Pls how true and any advice.

You may use 0w20 in place of 5w20.

But to use 20w50 in place of the engine oil specified is to ask for trouble!

If you want more proof, you could spend some time perusing this thread: https://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2576123 entitled "Are 5w20 & 0w20 Interchangeable?"

It is scientifically impossible for 5w20 to be interchangeable with 0w20 and at the same time the same as 20w50!

So many questions and divergent opinions on engine oil, so in association with AutoElectNG, all the many questions on engine oil will be thrashed here.

Feel free to ask your questions, but we will also present our questions and answers on this thread as well.

Dear AutoElectng, is there possibility of you breaking the whole programme into modules E.g I might be interested only in HVAC or Suspension & Steering, cause of cost in short.
