93 k1500 5.0, had a buddy fix an oil leak. stopped the leak. he changed the oil, but he used 15w-40 instead of 5w-30. only ran it for 50 miles. talked to dealer, they told me dump oil, change oil filter.having trouble keeping the the truck on when coming to a complete stop. when idling sometimes just peters out. just prior to dying i hear a hissing noise. any of these things related or do i have two separate problems? any help on these things would be appreciated.

Remember to check your vehicle's manual or consult a professional mechanic for precise guidance.

10w-30 is what you would use in winter and 10w-40 in the summer

DID YOU RESET OIL MAINT REMINDER LIGHT

with 120,000 + miles on it the 10w-40 oil is correct oil to use
If it was in my shop it would have been 15w-40
older engines need a heavier grade oil to compensate for wear and to keep the oil pressure to the maximum when idling the 5w-30 is for new engines or engines operating in temperatures of 0 or minus temperatures

Hello smeet3992: The transmission uses 5w-30 for tempretures up to 95 degreese in tempreture. Uses 15w-40 for all tempretures greater then 50 degreese. If you are in an area that has extreme fluctuation in tempretures I would use the 15w-4o engine oil. I also senrt a picture of where to check the oil at. Make sure you pull the right plug. The reverse idler pin has the same size bolt head.
