Even if you go for a heavier grade then it is not recommended. Because a heavier grade will cause a decrease in fuel economy, higher engine loads and this eventually cuts short the engine life. The same goes for lighter grades.
Lighter great is not recommended because it will result in mechanical wear and reduced engine life. It is always the best idea to follow the recommended motor oil viscosity and maintenance schedule which is provided in a vehicle’s owner manual.
