Car Oil Question

• tk421

  

  So, getting ready for an oil change I was at the store and forgot what grade oil my car took, so I ended up with 10-40 when it's supposed to be 5-30. Would there be any harm in using the 10-40, or should I go buy some more? It's a dodge.

  By burn it away, he means your car will explode into flames killing everyone inside.
  
  Good luck with dying.

  If it we're summer time, I would say go ahead and use the 10W-40 since it's a warmer climate oil. With winter coming on I would buy the 5W-30 which is more for colder weather. It may be tougher for your oil pump to push 10W which is thicker in cold temps.

  Not currently. No insurance either. Or doors on my car.

  10W-40 is questionable for the winter
  
  I would get the 5W-30 and not take the risk ,,,, not worth the potential damage

  With as rich as you are I would have figured you'd at least have some holdings in Exxon or something or perhaps occasionally trade WTI when the price is right.

  Good point. I actually do have quite a hefty position in Exxon Mobile.

  You can use the 10W-40.
