Hello, I just changed the oil on my car about 30 miles ago, and all of a sudden I have a bad squealing coming from the engine at start up, the motor seems to be hitching slightly as well. I switched up from 10w-40 to castrol 5w-50 high zinc and I was wondering if I just ruined my motor with that or if it just decided to crap out on it's own,
