I was doing my first oil change on my new to me 90xp chipper . Grabbed some 15w 40 semi synthetic oil at walmart and apparently it was not stocked with the same oil so 3 quarts of 10w30 was put in before i realized the mistake and finished with almost 6 courts of 15w 40 all the oil was the same accept for the weight do you think its a big deal to run it , also i live in Maryland if that helps for the operating temperature. Thanks for any help
 
You'll be fine then. Depending on the duty cycle it would probably be a good idea to change it before the weather gets hot though. You didn't mention the engine model and I'm not familiar with the platform they use in chippers but some Perkins are air cooled and use the oil for cooling.
I'd definitely want right viscosity in it for that.
