Also remember you can probably turn that oil on craiglist fairly quick if you don't price it too high. I know you paid only $1/quart for it, if you want to sell it quick, probably $40/2 jugs should go quick.
m1 0w40 in place of a 5w30

Strawman much ?
Who said it was a big deal...big enough to break every engine every oil change ???
Read what IS and ISN'T promised by the miscibility guidelines.

Did it say that every engine was going to fail from residual oil on the next oil change ?
The fact that they are miscible, and bad stuff nearly never occurs doesn't make a blend an appropriate answer for every question asked on BITOG.

There is also a big difference between residual oil left behind from an OCI or top off of a burner and adding 40% or more to a mix.
In a GM 3.6L DI V6, I would have no issues running the 0W40 oil straight up. Many people have been running this oil "off-the-record" in these engines for quite some time now due to its robustness and the fact that the DI V6 is hard on oil, and if it were to cause any issue, something would have come up by now. Is it optimal? Who knows! But I doubt it will hurt anything.
