5w-20

[Packman65]

So I just had my oil changed in my 18 GT350 and I put 5w-20 in instead of 50 is there anyone here that knows of a problem doing this or what the normal idle psi is right now with the 20 in at idle my oil pressure is 30 psi

No it's 5w-50 on the cap didn't notice until I was checking oil level

You should change it to 5w50

That's what I was thinking how about the filter

Voodoo motor? Do exactly what the owners manual says. Filter and oil.

And definitely wouldn't track it, or even let it get hot. Not worth it.

 

[Packman65]

Yes it's the voodoo

You can keep the filter assuming it's the right FL-2087 filter. It's going to hold a minimal amount of oil compared to the 10 qt of 5W-50 you'll be putting in.

Just dump the wrong oil out of the filter and put it back on. Shouldn't have any effect on the overall viscosity

If it's AMSOIL, will be fine to keep the W20..... That stuff is magic......






Relax kiddies, I jest I jest....... YES you need to run W50, and looks like you have done so.
