Quick Oil Question
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.

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.
