oil change question - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

soslow · 10-12-2016

A few days ago I brought my 1990 ZR-1 in for an oil change and specified to the mechanic that I wanted Mobil 1 High Mileage oil. He replaced the 8.5 quarts and gave me a half quart to bring home. When I got home, I noticed that he put in 5w-30 weight oil instead of the 10W-30 that the car calls for. Is this a big deal? It is synthetic and has some 10W-30 from the last oil remaining that doesn't drain out. Any thoughts?
The car only has 11,000 miles on it.
