I just realized I bought 5w20 engine oil and im about to do an oil change I usually run 5w30 if I use the 5w20 will it hurt my car. Keeping in mind it is winter time. Just wabt to make sure before I put it in.

Nope won't hurt a bit. Here is a guide to help change it back to 5w30 if you want.

If you have a manual check there but I know the 2004 is 5 quarts and they should be the same, most cavs are the same 4.5 to 5 quarts
