It is the viscosity of the oil is that differentiates 0w20 from 5w20 and 5w30 from each other. Every oil viscosity has benefits and drawbacks depending on the temperature, and not all of them are compatible with all engines. Basically:
- 0W-20 - Low viscosity 0W20 motor oil is frequently used for its cold-weather performance and provides better protection from normal engine wear and tear.
- 0W-30 - While, 0W-30 does not protect your engine nearly as well as 0w20, it is ideal for more extreme temperatures of over 400°F. (this is an alternative oil used in high performance engines and driving habits.)
- 5W-30 - 5W30 motor oil is designed for both colder and warmer temperatures. Its downside is the thicker composition makes it less fuel-efficient than the other motor oils.
