Yes, you can use 5W-30 oil instead of 5W-20 in a 2001 Mercury Sable, but it's essential to consider the manufacturer's recommendations. While 5W-30 may provide better protection at higher temperatures, it could affect fuel efficiency and engine performance. Always check your owner’s manual for the recommended oil viscosity and consult with a mechanic if unsure. Using the recommended oil is generally best for optimal engine health.
