im having a major oil leak and my engine was bone-dry so i put some 10W-40 in my car today and it was running fine, until about 30 minutes ago when i tried to start it... my car was just chuggin bad and drove weird as i pulled it out onto the road, so i just drove it back home... i am guessing that i added the wrong weight of oil and would it be safe to drive it just for a day? what oil is recommended? i bought the car without an owners manual so help would be appreciated
