What would happen if i put the wrong oil in my car?
I have a 94 ford escort and i put 10w40 in it, it had no oil at all, and i was supposed to use 5w30. Will this have any effect on my car?
If it would make much difference, it would be in extremely cold weather.

Better than no oil. But you really should get it changed to the right oil
In very cold weather the cylinder-heads-seals would have to much friction and damage but now that the weather is getting warmer, it will not make much difference between 10w40 oil and 5w30, however, better is to use only the oil that is specified by the original factory that build the engine.
You may get lifter noise. That probably isn't going to ruin the motor like you're doing by not changing the oil and filter every 3,000 miles. You run a motor until there's no oil remaining and the bearings will wear and seize up. Not to smart are you?!
- What would happen if, on this night, Trump pardoned Manafort, Gates, Cohen, Flynn, Kushner, Papodopolous, Trump Jr and himself? And no, at the Federal level, you do NOT need to be convicted in order to be pardoned. In fact, you don't even need to be charged. Case in point, Ford pardoned Nixon of all possible charges related to the Watergate cover-up without any charges having been levied against him.
- My mechanic put 5w30 oil in my ford ranger instead of 5w20. What could go wrong? Took my 2007 2.3L ford ranger in for an oil change, and they put 5W30 oil in it instead of the 5W20 that is shown in the book. Will this cause any problems, should i call them and have it changed/?

- What would happen if i put duct tape around my exhaust? Would it catch fire or just get hot and sort of melt. I have a leak and can't afford to fix it but the leak is causing headaches
