Oil, big difference?
 

Oops. I managed to grab a case of 5-30w instead of my normal 10-40w. How big a
difference does this make? Its a 98 TJ. Mostly used for wheeling and some comuting,
especially in the winter. Do I take it back and exchange it, or just keep it and
burn it? Opinions?

10w40 is too heavy for winters up here ... 5w30 is the norm.

depends on where you live; You'd need to have a 30 weight here in Maine
in the winter. Look at your owners manual, it will show you the temp
ranges for the viscosity oil you should use.

Guess I should have said I was in the Pacific North Wet.
