Any problems using half 5w30 and half 10w30? I have a few quarts of both left and wanted to be lazy instead of running out for more of one or the other.

Huh, it's funny you should mention that... I asked myself the same question just this past weekend. Last oil change I switched to 10W30, but I still have some 5W30 in the basement.

I'm no expert, but, if you're running a little low, I don't see where "topping off" with the 5W30 could do any harm. Better than using Crisco.

No problem. It's called multigrade, multivis. Such blends were very popular several years back.

Their is no difference between 5w-30 and 10w-30 once the engine is at running temp. 10w-30 is going to be thicker when cold and not flow as well on a cold start.

I like mobil 1 0w-40 synthetic it gives faster starts, you get oil pressure faster, flows well when cold. Once its hot its thicker then 5w30.
