Weird Oil problems, and loss of power?

Weird Oil problems, and loss of power?
So I have had the D for a total of 4K miles now. Two days ago I decided to check the oil since I have ran it 3K and just got back from a trip. Was a bit low. So I went to add oil but all I had was 10w-40 full syn. I had 10w-30 in. So I said well it isn't much of a difference I should be good...was good for the first couple miles then all of a sudden after accelerating from a light it just bogged down!
Has been doing it ever since...any ideas?
I know I need to change the oil, and I want to do a tune up(plugs, wires, cap/rotor, etc.) But is there anything I should look for?
The oil gauge is always above 40 now, it would sit at about 30 at a light. Now it sits at 40...

Also! Before I forget again...
I have crazy brake fade, I notice it more and more. But as I am braking the slower I go the more the pedal goes down. Weird thing is I have to push the pedal down more then half to even engage the brakes. I checked my pads and they are at 85% front and rear. Drums are clean and disks only have 4K miles on them. Fluid was replaced 4K ago and is clear and not to full.
I was thinking mabey I have bad lines?

As well as a bad check valve on the brake booster. It is the nipple that the large vacuum hose attaches to on the brake booster. Your issue sounds more like a brake issue then and engine issue.....IMHO
Dealer for the check valve.
Not much difference on the 40 and 30 weight, but I would pull it out at your next oil change. With that much dilution I can't think it would be much worse then what is in there already.

When you do the tune up, go to your local parts store and get Champion Copper plugs, yes the cheap ones, the number is under the hood on a label and install them, remember to gap them to .040 before install.
While your there get a distributor cap and rotor with brass contacts. Go to your dealer and get a set of OEM wires, or Mopar Performance wire, or MSD 8.5mm Red wires and install.
Now you will have the correct parts to make your Durango shine.
