Stupid Oil Question

Temperature and pressure affect the weight and viscosity of the oil and the oil we use maintains its viscocity up to certain temperature and pressure ranges. In colder weather the oil gets denser and heavier per volume, thus you want to move to a lighter weight oil.

It seems easy enough.
It seems easy enough.Yea but I cant find the reciept and I threw away the case box
I wouldnt worry too much about this, the difference between 5w30 & 10w30 isnt that great. As long as your running mobil 1, you'll be fine.
If your so concerned, just change the oil again & that way you'll have a piece of mind & you'll sleep better.
