Ok so brian and me changed my oil today.... read the convo and help me out please!!!!!

NunCHUCKSNinja: my car vibrates a lot now
NunCHUCKSNinja: and acts weird
Sortafamous: what do you mean?
NunCHUCKSNinja: when i accelerate it vibrates and when i was at idle it was changing rpm
Sortafamous: hmm
Sortafamous: it was 10w30 right?
NunCHUCKSNinja: yep
NunCHUCKSNinja: i think the vibration might be partly because the muffler was bent and now it hits the back bumper
NunCHUCKSNinja: and also it lags a little bit when i accelerate
Sortafamous: im lookin around
Sortafamous: but i dunno
Sortafamous: it might be that stop smoke stuff
Sortafamous: cause its so thick

I was lazy so I didnt feel like typing the whole situation so that convo sums it up.

Okay, honestly I don't know what your asking. What oil to you normally use? Is it always 10w30? If so, that has nothing to do with it. If you normally use oil completely different from that, you ****ed up. If thats the case, changing oils on your engine can strain oil gaskets (i think thats what it is, i'm having a blonde moment), and can make them leak because they swell if you use different oil types.

Do you have a new intake? Do you still have a stock intake box? If you have a new intake, it could be that bogging you up, if you have an intake already, forget I mentioned this. If you have a stock intake box, open that and make sure its not flooded with oil.

[edit]

I'll add more. If your stock intake box is filled with oil, you blew an oil ring. You may have done that regardless, again because of changing the oil weight.
