Accidentally put HIGH MILAGE 5W-30 Mobil 1 in. Am I hurting anyting?

Accidentally put HIGH MILAGE 5W-30 Mobil 1 in vs. regular 5W-30 Mobil 1 that I usually use. My car has 33,000 miles on it and I am planning on switching back to regular 5W-30 on my next oil change. Am I hurting anything?

Nah. I think you're ok. If it really bothers you, change it out. Here's a good thread:

Drain it out right away, dont wait, then drain and flush it at least 4 times by running it 10 minutes with Royal Purple, also a new filter each time.




Seriously, it's oil!! Run it for a couple thousand miles!!
