That's a lot heavier weight (thicker) than 30W. Change it as soon as you
can because the transmssion will not like it if you keep it in there too
long. It has to do with the temperature of the gears and the ability of
the thick oil to lubricate well in the small bearing surfaces of the
transmission.
