I have a 2004 Mercury Sable LS 3.0L DOHC which specifies 5w20 motor oil. I like an idiot changed the oil and added 10w40 instead of 5w20. Is there anything wrong with this? Should I switch back to 5w20 on my next oil change?

You should definitely switch back to the manufacturer recommended motor oil. 10w40 is about twice as heavy as 5w20 and in heavy I mean viscosity. There is no need to “wait” for the next oil change, simply drain the 10w40 now and replace with 5w20.

Yeah, Tony is right when he says you should switch back to 5W20, but fyi, I have seen many people use the wrong spec. of viscosity and continue to do so with no apparent problems, but this is not to say you wont have any problems..its best to use what the manufacturer recommends.

To get the most accurate automatic transmission fluid reading you should warm the engine to normal operating temperature and then cycle the transmission through all gears from P,R,N,D,D1,D2, etc. and back from D2,D1,D,N,R,P and then check the fluid with the engine idling and the transmission in Park.

It is important to measure the transmission fluid with the vehicle running and also when the vehicle is at normal operating temperature.
