Nothing to worry about. 5W30 and 5W20 are very close.

Thanks for the info everyone. I think I'll try it with the 5w30. Did some other lookin' around and I think I'll be safe. But, to be double dog safe I am going to dilute it with 25% H2O and that will keep it from exploding (JK LOL)!!!!!

Thanks for the quick responses!!!!!

I must be missing something here. Does the GT use 5w-20 and the V6 uses 5w-30? The oil cap on my V6 says 5w-30. It sounds to me like he used the correct oil unless there's a difference between the GT and V6.

No biggie, you'll be fine. Change it out in 5K miles.
