Just did an oil change did I mess this up

[ddagsyn]

I just did an oil change on my V6 2000 camry with Mobil 1 Synthetic oil. I by mistake used one quart of 5W20 with the other 4 quarts of 5W30. Do, I have to redo this as I put a quart of 5W20 by mistake.
thanks

Not to worry - the difference is minimal. Your car will be fine (and so will you!).

[chronoti]

should be using 5w-20 anyway, you be fine

Like Tom said, the difference is so minimal I wouldn't sweat it.

No problemo!

It's ok. I always mix oils with different weight and brand.

That's fine. In older V6 engines and higher temps in coming months, consider using Mobil-1 10W-30 next time. You can even use Motorcraft FL400S filter from Walmart, do check out their 5 qt/jug prices.

Strange how some compatibility look-ups say that filter is OK for an '01 V6 and others, like advance auto in the link below, say it's not compatible

The FL400S is a longer version of the Motorcraft FL910S. I'd say it's similar to the I4's PL14476 vs PL14477 difference (2.2L vs 2.4L filters).

I always point out the larger filters do take a little longer to fill if completely drained. Side-by-side really not much difference. Personally, I'd pick FL400S and PL14477 over shorter versions.

Changed the oil in a '00 camry four for the first time today and using three quarts of regular 5w-30 and one of 10w-30 -that's what I had new. I used an oem filter (the old filter came right off) the new filter is the taller of the two I’ve seen that fit the 5s-fe engine. The drain plug I found on the on the oil pan was brass-knurled with the bolt head directly beyond that... It took a 7/8"" socket to loosen and also wasn’t on too tight. The oil in the filter made somewhat of a mess on the block above and below, but that minor snafu cleaned right up. So ya, as long as yer gettin' fresh oil and filter in and on there, I highly doubt you'd have any type of problem.
