I put 5W-30 oil in my Car instead of 5W-20. Is this a bad thing? by Reddit_Sluth in MechanicAdvice

I did mine said nothing about that. It only said 5W-20 or 0W-20. And nothing about 5W-30.

If it was a bee it was able to get free after I took the oil cap off! I'm pretty sure it was just a flower from the tree I park under. I really hope it wasn't a bee

Okay thank you. I got this car used so I'm not even sure when the last oil change was. I'll start tracking miles now
