Well i pulled everything apart and i looked at my oil pump and the o-ring wasnt on the pick up tube so im in the process of putting that on. Do yall think i could have harmed the motor any? Another question i had was if i should use 5w 30 insead of 10w 30

Yeah. Shame, that's a common occurence.
We all need a pop-up in our brains to double check the o-ring.
