Does it smell like fuel?
If so, then yes the fuel is breaking the oil down
You might have bad rings or valve stem seals, allowing fuel vapors to mix with the oil...

He said after he put the oil in I'm thinking before he ever started the car. If so maybe your just "trippin" and its fine

Umm I must be confused.

You put in fresh, 10w30, how would there already be fuel in it??

did the oil seem thin when you added it?

Did you use individual quarts or a 5 gallon jug? Was it sealed?

change your oil again, once you drain it will you immediately know if somethings wrong.
