is 10w30 oil ok for a sc400??
Last weekend was the first time I changed my oil myself. Bought a toyota oem filter at toyota dealership for the sc400 V8. Drained out old oil full and put castol 10w30 oil in and filter. It felt good doing this yourself, but after I was done, felt stupid cause I put in 10w30. I have maybe 146,000 miles on it so do you guys think it is ok w/ 10w30 or should I change it again to 5w30. Thinkin bout synthetic mobil 1 5w30 but scared it might leak. I felt w/ 10w30 on the egine is kinda heavy. What do you guys think. Any help would be apreciated.

Thanks Guyz!! Before All these responses, I called my local Lexus dealership and they told me that 10w30 is what they used on on their used lexus. I feel much better that everyone feel the same. Thanks for all the help everyone...I greatly appreciate it !!
