I found what seems to be a small oil leak today. It may be a seal since it's coming from the front around the radiator area.

My question is: I had an oil change and decided to use Valvoline Max Life 5W-30. I had a brain freeze and bought 10W-30 and realized after I got home it was the wrong one. The oil leak may be fixed tomorrow but in the mean time, will mixing the viscosity's create any issues?

I live in Florida btw.

 

go back, return the oil and buy the right stuff...


****, not a hard solution

 

That seems like an easy solution. I guess I'm lazy and I'm not exactly close to the place I bought it from. Oh well..

Damn man, take that ******* dick out of your mouth.
You didn't even answer the question. You did however, give out an advice in a rude manner.


Back on topic.
Mixing 10w30 and 5w30 will have no negative side effects on your engine.
They are pretty much the same weight.

 

True, you will be fine. I run 10w30 M1 for 8k, it thicken to 10w40 as analysis said, then I add a quart of 0w20 and it mix back into 10w30, good to go for another 4k.
