Lost count of the number of times people have asked am I okay using a 5W-30 oil instead of the recommended 0W-30?
Well watch this video and note the difference, when cold, between the 0W and the 5W and imagine the difference this makes in how fast the oil gets to the vital components in the engine when you start it up.
When these two oil are warm then they will flow identically.
One of the main reason people want to use a 5W is because they are generally cheaper because it is harder & more expensive to create a 0W and so the prices are higher.
Hope this helps.
