Engine Oil 10W-40
Hey There CL!!!!!!!
Ok so yesterday i accidentally put the 10W-40 to my IS250 during the oil change
On the manual it say either 5W-30 or 10W-30
So what do u guy think about this? should i change it again and get the right oil?
Thanksssssssssss

I'd do a simple drain and refill with 5w-30...no need to mess with the filter.

you'll put a little bit more wear on your engine at startup. if you're not that worried, leave it. if you are worried, change it.

It won't damage anything - I wouldn't think of waisting perfectly good oil for a few obvious reasons.
You're good until the next change interval...
