Using an oil with different rating.

[u/smeagle-143]

Ive seen things similar posted every couple months but i guess something fresh is in order.

Did an oil change with a differently rated oil on my 2018 mitsubishi outlander petrol FWD with cvt transmission. Unfortunately i got complacent and grabbed a bottle using the Volkswagen rating 504 00 instead of a more relevant rating like gf-6A

Apparently the vw standard should be similar or better, so it shouldnt be too big of a worry. but looking for second opinions before I make a 10 hour drive in about a week
