No worries. If 10w30 was suited for your current climate then your new mixture will do just fine. If you needed to use 5w30 because the temps are still below zero in your area, then you may want to change to entirely 5w30. I remember hearing about people with LS1's in their Camaros mixing 4 qts of Mobil 1 10w30 and 2 qts of 15w50 in order to achieve a mix that was similar to a 10w40.

Can 10w30 engine oil safely be used in place of 5w30 for a 2003 Pontiac Grand AM GT V-6?
Yes, 10w30 can be safely used in that engine. The only thing you will want to watch is when it gets colder, like below freezing, if that happens in your area. However, there is no real benefit to running 10w30 instead of 5w30. The only difference between the oils is the 5w30 flows a little better at cold temperatures than the 10w30. When the oils get up to operating temperature they are practically the same viscosity.

Which oil is thicker 10w30?
10W30 is. Correction... It really depends what you are asking. Actually at operating engine temp these two oils are identical. The 5W30 flows better in the cold than the 10W30 oil. The benefit of the 5W30 oil is its' ability to build oil pressure and protect the engine under cold operating conditions. Basically a 5W30 oil covers a wider range of temperatures than a 10W30 oil and is better suited for year round use where climates can shift from extreme colds to extreme highs.

What kind of motor oil should you use for your 1998 Nissan Sentra?
Use 5w30 if you live in a cold climate like Minnesota in winter. Otherwise 10w30 works everywhere else. Heavy oils work fine but reduce gas mileage slightly. 5W30 is very light( think gas economy) ,10w30 is medium ( think all-around),15w30 is heavier( think trailer towing) The synthetic blends are my personal choice. Brand choice is strictly opinion; you can't go wrong.
