I guess the other poster meant synthetic oil (syntatic?). I would NOT use synthetic in a car that is seven years old even though you didn't state the mileage. Why? You're simply not going to get the benefit unless it has been on a steady synthetic diet its whole life. It's possible that a few leaks could show up too, stick with 5W30 regular oil, assuming 5W30 is correct.

Thanks friends, I successfully finished servicing my car. I did go for 5W30 in Walmart. Total service fee came upto 22$. I always run my vehicle on premium fuel. So far, i have been taking good care of the vehicle. Anyway, thanks guys for all your help. Cheers!

Can you put 5WIn general, it is not recommended that you use 5w30 oil (or any other oil weight) in place of 5w20 oil, as the slightest difference in viscosity can potentially damage your engine.
