What would happen if you put 15w-30 oil in car that needs 5w-30 oil?

If you have an older, more worn out engine, it could actually be for the better. There'll be less leakage of oil through the piston rings and other fine leaks will be reduced.

What kind of motor oil should you use for your 1998 Nissan Sentra?
Use 5w30 if you live in a cold climate like Minnesota in winter. Otherwise 10w30 works everywhere else. Heavy oils work fine but reduce gas mileage slightly. 5W30 is very light( think gas economy) ,10w30 is medium ( think all-around),15w30 is heavier( think trailer towing) The synthetic blends are my personal choice. Brand choice is strictly opinion; you can't go wrong.
