Didn't count the bolts correctly. A quart low is even worse with a smaller capacity. The reading I did seemed to indicate the viscosity difference isn't a big problem, just causing more resistance so probably your gas mileage will drop .00001 mpg using heavier oil! Yeah.

The low level is an eye opener though, as mine was too. Guess we have to ask for a show of hands now.

Where did you source the steel wheels for winter?

Nice long eyes, always have a small set in the console, as a first responder its always a good idea to see the hazard tags on a trailer from a distance with MVA's on the Interstate, especially if the driver is running in the other direction.
