Mechanics would always put 10w30 in my explorer when I was in college, and it called for 10w40. It didn't have any effect on the car, but I had my special "owner's sense" telling me that the car didn't like it. It's still the same weight oil so it'll start up just fine. But you may find that your car doesn't seem happy about it.

Basically the first number means the cold start viscosity (I.e. Can it handle starting). The "w" means it is rated for winter starting. And the last numero is the viscosity rating at 100C. So it'd be fine put-puttin around town. But you wouldn't want to get too sporty.

 At first I used to thing the same way but after a while of being under a car, I got used to it. However, I will not get under a car that is just held up with a hydraulic jack unless it's just to grab something or to place a tower. |
