Check the owner's manual, call the manufacturer or head to a oil lube shop and ask. Some makes and models, yes. It isn't a good idea to go with a heavier weight oil unless the manufacturer says it is acceptable. Sometimes the weight of the oil relates to the lowest weather temp the car will be exposed to, but sometimes an engine is not designed to handle another weight.

I would go with the 20 since it's thicker. 20 is NOT thicker then 30. Yes you can use a 30 weight oil with no problems. 20W oil may be recommended in order to achieve maximum fuel efficiency but, using a 5W30 oil will protect the engine better!
What if you put 5 30 instead of 5 20?
Use exactly the weight oil recommended by the manufacture and nothing else. Using anything else can cause engine wear.
What happens when you use 5w-20 instead of 5w-30?
Using 5W-20 oil instead of 5W-30 may result in reduced engine protection, especially in high-temperature conditions, as 5W-30 has a thicker viscosity at operating temperatures. This can lead to increased engine wear and potential overheating. However, if the vehicle manufacturer specifies 5W-20, using 5W-30 could also affect fuel efficiency and engine performance. Always refer to the owner's manual for the recommended oil viscosity for your specific vehicle.

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.
