v-tec wont work

i changed my oil putting in 10w 30 instead of 5w30 like i always have. it was high milage oil. anyways as soon as i start to drive it I noticed that v-tec wasnt kicking in. could the higher weight oil cause this. thanks

Did you also add the dash into the vtec? That could be the problem.
