Does there any impact on my car engine with this oil? Is it good to ask them replace oil with 0w-30.

Thank you.
Will it damage the engine, possibly not? Probably not. It won’t offer you the low temperature protection you need and will put additional stress on oil pump etc.

I assure you beyond any reasonable doubt they are talking crap about what they say, total junk. The likly truth is that they are buying income containers of 5w30 for sod all (specs are years old) and trying to fob it off on you.

Get them to change it and if it gives you loads of grief then leave for 2k then change it yourself in 20 minutes
