Quick Oil Question

[nickhjort]

I had a quick question. I have some Mobil 1 oils laying around, but they are different weights (all full synthetic though). I got 3Q of 0W-20, 2Q of 0W-40 and half a quart of 5W-30. Is it possible to mix these different weights, or is that going to mess up my engine. I got my oil change coming up soon and was just wondering. Thanks in advance.

You'll just have a giant mix of weights. There's really no telling what can happen. I'd just get some more 5w-30.

It won't harm your engine to mix same brand and type of different weights. Don't worry.:smile:

nothing will happen.

jsut to add to the mess would they mix?

if they do u'd be left with aprox. 3w30......lol

and if they dont ure engine will have different protection at different places....

They'll all happily mix together. On your next change, just use the 3Q of 0-20 and top up with the 0-40. Then mix whatever's left over into the same jug and buy more oil for next change of the same brand.
