Will it damage your car you accidentally put synthetic small engine oil in?
The quick answer is probably not. If you are worried, change it to the proper oil, and save the drained oil for the small engines. Small engine oil is usually non-detergent. Detergents help the oil wash off the engine parts. Small engines are usually only used during part of a year, such as in lawn mowers and wood chippers. There, you would want the oil to leave a film on the parts to help prevent rust while the engines are not in service. The other difference would be the viscosity (how thick the oil is). the small engine oil might be thicker. Small engines usually use a staight-weight oil (like SAE 30) where car engines use multi-weight oils (like 10W30). I used to use straight weight oil (SAE 30) in my car until one extremely cold day when the oil became so thick that it wouldn't suck up the pick-up tube, and the oil light wouldn't turn off. I quickly shut off the engine, changed the oil to 10W30, and never used straight-weight oil again. When I sold that car it was 15 years old and the new owner said the engine still sounded like new. So, the engine was not damaged.
Is 30 weight oil heavier than 40 weight?
