Re: 10w40 in the pan, doh
A engine will run ok with 10-40. And is not a life threating problem on a short time use.
But does not lubercate the tight spots as good. It is a little heavey for newer engines. Most manf. say to use 5W30 Check your owners manual or dip stick or oil filler cap. You could always drain it out and put back what is supposed to be in it. MT
