you got the wrong the wrong oil weight you should have used 10w-30 full mobile 1 synthetic using the wrong weight oil might have killed your engine

The 0 weight oil is a bit thinner, but weather it killed your bearings is hard to say. It'* more likely the thin oil flushed out deposits. Using a thicker oil may help. What is your oil pressure?

ok bc i only put like 50 miles on it since the change, so shud i go back to normal oil opposed to synthetic, and shud i go back to 5w-30? and the pressure seems to be stable, so the earlier the change the better
