5w30 is more for colder climates and 10w30 is more for hot climates. theres isnt gonna be any performance loss or gain there not gerasticly different.

Re: Oil Question (ScribeSi)

im curious how you have so many post and cannot answer this question.......anyways they are both the same weight once up to temperature so you will not have any problems.
