Oil Change Viscosity Mistake
I just spaced at the parts store. In the stack of 5w-30 oil there was one box of SAE 30, and without noticing, I bought it. I did not realize it until after I had already poured the required 6 quarts...

I think his concern is not if 30w is bad for his motor, but that he "mixed" the 1 quart of 30w with 5qts of multi-viscosity oil.
I'm not sure if it will do any harm, but I've always been told to not mix different weights.
If it were me, I'd just drain and refill. $25 and your piece of mind is at ease.

The way I read it he purchased a case of sae30 instead of a case of 10w-30. Poured in six quarts of sae30 then realized the mistake.
I read it the same way as Mike, but either way I don't see it as a problem.
