It can work, but it's generally not a good idea.
5w30 or 10w30 are the most recommended motor oils for light passenger cars.
older car before 1985 yes newer cars after that no most newer vehicles require 5w30 or 10w30
Any name brand oil will do, but synthetic oils are better. Generally summer it is 10w30 and winter 5w30 for new cars and 10w40/10w30 for high mileage cars. However engine oil rated for diesel engines are best and you can get a synthetic diesel oil recommended by BMW from Bavarian Autosport, Lubro Molly, 5w40/10w40.

Lol 10w30.. I prefer 10w40 when it comes to higher milage cars
10w30 I would continue to use the 5w30 that was recommended by the manufacturer. One reason someone would say to use the heavier oil is that you have oil leaks in the engine and this will help -- or the piston rings are not operating as well and heavy oil will help... well THEY are mistaken. The compression will climb because of the thicker oil...BUT that is not a good thing in this case... the engine then has to work harder to turn in that heavier oil and the heavier oil will just gum up and clog more things that the engine was not designed for -- thus making life harder for the old engine. Use the Manufacturer's recommendation of 5W30 -- even if it is an older engine with more miles on it...the oil guys are just "upselling" the oil for older cars ideas to people. PS. it got to 169000 miles on 5w30, didn't it?
Sometimes Hybrid cars combine an internal combustion engine with a battery system to improve efficiency. In many cars, this translates into improved fuel economy, but some hybrids use those savings for added power. If you're shopping for a hybrid, check the fuel economy rating!
