Oil
Hey, just had a quick question.
I just took my car out of storage and changed the oil. I bought Mobil 1 5w-30 and used that. When I was all done I found an old bottle of mobil 1 that I used in the fall. It was 10w30.
Will this cause any kind of problems? Should I drain it and put 10w-30 back in it? Just wondering, I haven't driven it yet and wanted to know if this would cause any kind of problem. Thanks

All info. that I have researched on Mobil 1 (and all full synthetics in general) reveal superior flow characteristics compared to dino oils. Even the 20w50 would be acceptable in both LT1 and LS1 engines in most climates...
The only exception would be if an engine is very high hp and would spin a bit higher than stock on a regular basis, probably a higher weight or straight weight oil would be prefered....
