I mistakenly poured 1 quart of 10W40 with 3 quarts of 5W30 Trop Artic in 2006 Malibu Maxx. Will this hurt any? Just want some piece of mind. Thanks all.

How exactly? My car never gets cold enough for a 0 weight or 5 weight to make any different. I don't drive my car in -40 degree F weather. The difference in a 40 weight will just thicken the 30 weight oil slightly. People have mixed 5w30 and 15w50 oils without issues in some cars.

No problem with this mix. Change it at your normal OCI.
