Yes, you can but know you are changing the weight of the oil. Use only what the manufacture recommends.

Can you use 5w30 oil in a jeep 2.5l instead of 10 w30?
Yes, but keep in mind that 5w30 thins out at higher temperatures vs. 10w30. i.e. 5w30 is better for cooler climates than 10w30 respectively. Theoretically you could see a mpg increase with the thinner oil comparatively, just don't sacrifice proper lubrication to save a few bucks. In my '95 2.5l it never lost any oil when I ran 10w30. When I tried 5w30 it did go through some. I have a 99k engine. the oil wasn't being burnt, so I wasn't losing it quickly, I just needed to top it off after a few months. I probably had to add 1/2 quart.

To add a quart of oil to your grand marquis It currently had 10W-30 weight oil in it may you add a quart of 5W-30 to the engine?
it wouldn't hurt to mix the oils, I mixed 5w30 and 10w30 in my 1986 Lincoln town car because 5w30 bled right through, seeing as it leaked from everywhere, I probably went through a liter a week. Straight 10w30 leaked maybe a liter a month, but caused the engine to run much rougher. After mixing the two, I went through a liter every 2-2.5 weeks and the engine ran fine
What type of oil do you use in a Mercedes?
Mobil 1 synthetic oil They recommend 5w30 but if you have higher miles I'd go with the 10w30 or 10w40. It's thicker which adds protection. Thicker does not add more protection. Use exactly what Mercedes recommends and nothing else.

What kind of oil should you use in your 1994 crown vic?
In winter, cold climate, I use 5w30. In the summer i use 10w30. Before I change the oil I add a small container of engine flush, follow directions, and this removes any sludge from inside. Does a good job. All this as long as you follow regular oil and filter changes, say 5,000 kms ( 3,000 miles ) up to 350,000 kms ( 220,000 miles )now.
What happen if you add two different kinds of oil to a motor?
Nothing if they were approved oils. You can mix 10w30 with 5w20 etc. Not a good idea but you can do it. You can mix brands with no problem.
