Default oil problem
Well I went to autozone yesterday and to buy oil and an oil filter. When I got home I noticed they gave me 10W-30. Will this cause problems?

10W30 is fine in the summer and as long as temperatures do not drop below 0 deg F. below this 5W30 is recommended. Use of 10W30 below 0 deg F contributes to camshaft damage (cold start wear) in overhead cam engines as the oil takes longer to lube the top end.

i use 20w-50 rear round. when i sued 5w-30 or 10w-30 i had to add like a quart every 2 weeks. now i can go in between oil changes without adding any.
