Hi all 😊 my rangie is due for some fresh oil. I was wondering if it's ok to put 5w/30 in instead of 15w/40? Will it do any harm? Should I stick to recommended? Thanks guys!

Ok with 5W/30 if you are taking it to Alaska or Siberia for the winter. 10W/40 for over here or if it's an high miler 15W/40 maybe better.

I use full synthetic 5W40.

5W/30 would maybe show up a few leaks its pretty thin

As long as you change it every 5k or so then semi-synthetic 10/40 will do. Save your wallet. Synthetic only worthwhile for longer changes.
