If my car takes 5w-30 can I use 10w-40 oil
Manufacturers recommend a particular grade of motor oil for the engine to ensure best operation and fuel economy. That said, yes, you can use other grades....but be advised that they must match the codes (such as SF-CC). 10W-40 is used by many drivers in warmer weather when they are driving long distances and subjecting the engine to highers temperatures and stress. I wouldn't recommend it be used in very cold weather as it will not provide as good a start-up lubrication as the 5W-30.

My car stalls when turning sharply at low speeds,
could be a bad power steering pressure sensor . This sensor inputs a signal to the PCM - engine computer when low speed an higher load on the engine ,such as turning , in return the PCM is suppose to raise the idle so it won't stall .

Obd not ready won't pass inspection
It usually takes more than one drive cycle to clear all monitors to "ready".The vehicle may take multiple "from cold" drive cycles and hundreds of miles to clear all.Drive normally with varied driving and include long coasting down stops.Buy a cheap scan tool ($35) and check monitors as you drive.
DO NOT CLEAR CODES or run the battery dead or you will have to start over!

2001 grand am se jerking when changin gears trac off light on
Final drive speed sensor causing Trac light and rough shifting. Metal dust on the sensor. Have the transmission filter and fluid serviced. This should have been done at 60,000 miles. You may get an ABS light too. Service the sensor. Perform an OBDII scan for stored faults.
