Today's cars specify a certain viscosity for good reasons. For example, mine has variable cam timing and oil viscosity is part of what regulates that timing. It takes 0w20. 5w20 is not likely to grenade anyone's engine, but it might not run quite right. If you do use it, then find a case of 0w20 before your next oil change.
