I think my oil is running a little hot..

I did my first oil change at 2000 miles and accidently put 10w 30 instead of 5w 30 (mobil 1). Dont know if that had anything to do with it but my temps stay around 10 degrees cooler now. May just be the thicker oil. IDK

I'd suggest getting the right viscosity. The engine was designed with a specific viscosity in mind. If you have issue's later on, and it goes in for maint? they may void your warranty for using the wrong thickness of oil. Thats if you take it to the dealer for reg maint.
