Accidentally added too much LOS to my 3.7
OK keep in mind im coming from the old Jeep 4.0's where we added a quart of LOS with each 5w-30 oil change and my last jeep was at 290k with no motor issues when i sold it.
Well today i was doing an oil change on my Dakota with 141k on it, and had for some reason intended to add just half a quart of LOS with the 5w-30 but i mentally checked out for a moment and ended up adding the whole quart, i guess out of old habits.
Anyway i know the 3.7 has much tighter bearing and cam tolerances than the IL4.0
So afterward i began to worry about it.
Do you think the resulting high viscosity will be OK till my next oil change? (im guessing the viscosity is comparative to 15w-50 now)
i usually change oil between 2500 and 3000 miles
