It's better than nothing but yes it's too thin. Most likely it will be burnt and dispelled out of the exhaust. It may also be pumped out of the breather system.

Will It Hurt A Diesel Truck to be topped off with 3 quarts of 10w30 when it calls for 15w40?
In an emergency, no. Change the oil ASAP. If it's an emergency.... only if you have to do so. It can hurt it. Diesel oil (15w40) is different from 10w30. There are different additives, different qualities, and the viscosity is also different.

Can you substitute 10w30 with 5w20 motor oil?
It depends on the situation. Personally, I wouldn't use 5w20 instead of 10w30 for a complete oil change. However, using it to top off a quart or two shouldn't be an issue. Oil shears over its life so a little thinner oil shouldn't hurt the engine.
Does using 10w30 oil hurt your car?
Every car needs a certain type of oil. The manufacturers usually tells you what kind of oil to use. Putting 10w30 oil in a 2005 corvette could really hurt the engine but putting it in a 1999 to 2004 Chrysler 300 M is perfectly acceptable. Considering you didn't say what model of car, this question is very hard to answer. The simple answer is to use the oil grade recommended by the manufacturers of your car.
