Don't think you will notice any difference between those grades, I'd just change it more frequently now it's done a few miles... Pete

Hi, yes I tend to change my oil every 12 months anyhow and usually this equates to around 5k miles. I just wondered if there would be any benefits of running a 0w30 over a 5w40 as I tend to do alot of short trips so thought the 0 grade would add protection when cold. But then as the car has done 100k miles if it's to thin it might just drink it. |

So long as it's not cheap rubbish then I agree with hay lands it probably won't make much difference. |
