Well about a month ago I bought oil on sale, Well I guess I had a brain fart cause I just looked at the jug and its 5w20 synthetic! I was sure I had bought 5W30 as per requirements. I know theres not a huge difference but will this affect my warranty or should I just cave and buy another 5W30 jug and let this one go to waste?

Insight anyone

Send it to me thats what 2.3s take lol

Does your receipt say you bought 5W-20?

The older I get the more I realize it is worthless to worry about tomorrow when you are living today. Love your family and friends, live like there is no tomorrow.

I'd have to check it, I hope not

Even so, it won't be that big of a deal. It is better to go with 5W-20 than say make the mistake and do 20W-50.

true I know this is just a once time deal, but I'd hate for this one time deal to cost me more in the long run, I rather spend anothe $40 on oil then risk any costly damage later on.

True, however it will not damage anything. I have run 5W-20 and 5W-30 in my truck and other vehicles in the past and there have been no issues. There won't be.

On another thought $40 for 5 quarts....HOLY SHIT BATMAN

Whats you manual call for??
For where you live,5-20 won't hurt but if let's say you lived in Texas then 5-30 would be the better choice.
A quick call to my Dealer says the 5-20 is Fuel Saving compared to 5-30. Same protection and not to sweat it.

Yikes...! Wally world by me has 5 qt jugs of Motorcraft for $18.00 last month.

Same here, even my B-I-L store has 5 quart jug for $25

I got my oil (The 5w20 in question) on sale for $14 instead of the usual $45

Only by 2 cents....'bout time our almighty dollar was back on top.
Even the Euro is below the American Dollar..!!!

No biggie on the 5w20. I found out that the ford dealer had been putting that in my truck the last three times I went for an oil change. Even thought it says right on the freaking cap 5w30. Thats one reason I don't let anyone touch my truck but me anymore. Either way, it didn't hurt my truck any as far as I can tell.
