How harmful is using a different grade of oil than what is in your engine?
I was driving my dads car today, when the check oil engine light came on, turns out it was VERY low on oil. I could not get in contact with my dad, but the car did have a Manuel, the Manuel said to use 5w-40, but I put in 10w-40 due to the fact I wasnt able to get anything else. I don’t know if that is the regular oil used on the car, so what are the possible downfalls of using a different grade of oil than what is already in your car?
A little bit of 10-40 in the engine will do no harm. You will end up with an effective blend of about 6 or 7-40, and the engine will be far better protected than it would with all 5-30 and a litre down. Engines low on oil run a little hotter, and the oil starts to break down faster. Don’t worry about those who say go get it changed right away, leave it until the regular oil change.
