I’m in the same boat! Hope we’re all okay. What do you think about switching brands? Some oils might be more forgiving?
I don’t think switching brands would help too much; it’s all about the viscosity grade. However, I’m intrigued by whether high-mileage oils would have different effects in this situation.
High-mileage oil is an interesting idea. I wonder if it would help with any residual wear from using the wrong oil. Has anyone tried it after an oil mix-up?
Using 5W30 in a 0W20 engine could lead to serious issues like increased wear and overheating—it’s not just a joke! But hey, at least now you have a story to tell at parties!
