10w30 oil ???
You should be fine...but 5w30 is what you want...You might feel some power being lost, from a stop, this will be your engine working harder to move that oil which is thicker. If you can exchange it, do so...Ur engine will thank you for it!

At operating temperature, the viscosity of 5w-30 and 10w-30 is EXACTLY THE SAME. When it's cold is when 10w is thicker. Unfortunately 80% of engine wear occurs during cold startup, so just be sure to take it extra slow and easy with 10w-30 until you get up to operating temperature.

That's not necessary.
As noted in the owner's manual - you looked in yours, right? - 5W30 viscosity is preferred, but 10W30 is also acceptable, as long as the outside air temperature is above 20F. In Stockton, starting in late April, that shouldn't be a problem. Leave the 10W30 in the car and you should be fine.
