It depends on what you SHOULD have put in and what you DID put in and the age of the engine. Most of the time it won't make much difference.

What happens if you use the wrong weight motor oil in a vehicle?
If you use the wrong weight motor oil in an engine, it is possible that you could destroy the engine due to lack of lubrication, either because the oil's viscosity is to low to provide adequate bearing separation, or because the oil's viscosity is to high to permit adequate lubrication. Use the manufacturer's recommended oil.
