what harm will adding regular synthetic oil do ?
on a road trip, add 1qt light came on, cant seem to find any places within a reasonable distance that carries 0w40 or equivalent oil ( almost 2 hours). bought some 10w40 full synthetic what harm would be adding that vs driving around looking for the correct oil? planned on changing oil when i got back home regardless.

fingers crossed!!!! have about 4000 miles on the mobil 1 0w 40 i usually change it around 5k, is it ok to drive to the 5k mark with 1qt of normal synthetic or should i change it immediately ?

I don't see this as a problem at all, your running 1w 40 now, Mercedes approved 5w 40. Change it when it's convenient and "forgid'a bout it".
