That's a very broad question, more information would be helpful. But in most cases, the normal recommendation is 10w30 for the summer, and 5w30 for the winter. But other factors and driving conditions may call for something else, driving habits may change your requirements, and the specific engine may require something else. But don't just go by the manufacturer's recommendation, they usually recommend whatever weight will give the best fuel economy (this is the result of the EPA sticking it's nose where it doesn't belong). This may not always be the best choice for engine longevity. Your best bet would be to call a mechanic, they can probably made an educated suggestion. Or, if it's a car that's been around awhile (even if it's brand new, if the engine has been in production for a few years, this will work), check out a Hayne's manual or Chilton's manual, they'll have the best recommendation for oil in there.

What do you do if you put the wrong oil in your car?
The answer to this depends on what kind of oil you are talking about. If you put a heavier weight oil (like 5 weight) in your car instead of say,30 weight, it will cause your car to act sluggish in the cold weather because the oil is thicker. If you put a lighter weight (30 weight ) in a vehicle that needs a heavier oil, the car will still run but not as well as using the correct type of oil. If you put transmission oil in your car's engine oil pan by mistake; you should empty out the oil pan immediately (when the oil and car are cold) and flush it or refill it with the correct oil as soon as you have realized it was the wrong oil.
