3.6 Pentastar V6 Problems. 5w20 or 5w30. Which oil better for stopping the PENTASTAR TICKING NOISE.

5W-30 Versus 5W-20
5W-30 and 5W-20 motor oil both feature the same winter rating. This means that both grades exhibit the same viscosity under cold conditions. However, 5W-30 features a slightly higher viscosity at 100 degrees Celsius than does 5W-20. This means that once the engine reaches normal operating temperature, 5W-30 oil will be thicker than 5W-20. Due to the increased resistance of the thicker 5W-30 oil, your engine will produce slightly lower fuel economy and horsepower output. You also risk engine damage when using 5W-30 instead of 5W-20, as the internal engine components are specifically designed to be used with 5W-20 motor oil.

Manufacturer's Suggestion
Specific information regarding the motor oil suggested by the manufacturer of your vehicle can be found in your owner's manual. For many vehicles, this only includes the oil viscosity rating. Frequently, car manufacturers also suggest a specific type of oil, such as one featuring a special synthetic blend or rating. Additionally, your owner's manual will note if any other oil grades are acceptable. Some manufacturers suggest a slightly lower viscosity rating for very cold climates. If no alternative to 5W-20 is listed, using a different grade of oil may void the powertrain warranty of your vehicle.
