10W30 is.
Correction...
It really depends what you are asking. Actually at operating engine temp these two oils are identical. The 5W30 flows better in the cold than the 10W30 oil. The benefit of the 5W30 oil is its' ability to build oil pressure and protect the engine under cold operating conditions. Basically a 5W30 oil covers a wider range of temperatures than a 10W30 oil and is better suited for year round use where climates can shift from extreme colds to extreme highs.

What is the correct grade of oil for a 1998 2.4L Malibu?
More than likely 10w30. Check your owners manual or call a Chevy dealer to be sure. Sometimes it is written on the oil cap. The factory specifies 5w30..in cold climates it helps the oil to flow better. In warm or hot weather 10w30 is acceptable..but under NO conditions should the 2.4 engine use any thicker oil..thicker would be 10w40.. 20w50 etc.

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.
