Typhoonz 4th Gear August 15, 2012 Share August 15, 2012 Can the above be used together? I have 1GL of the former and need about a QT more for my Mazda 5... Have loose QT of 5W30 so intend to use it to top up as the 1GL is definitely not enuff... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptronic Supercharged August 15, 2012 Share August 15, 2012 Since we do not have much "temperature variations", practically it should be okay to mix both. Theoretically it is not advisable to blend oils. If you are a practical person, just go ahead - after all it is your car Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptronic Supercharged August 15, 2012 Share August 15, 2012 I always thought that one cannot mix different viscosity nia... That is right. I would not be happy to mix oils of different viscosity or brand. But, engines are quite rugged, nothing should happen noticeably though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyojin 1st Gear August 15, 2012 Share August 15, 2012 generally if they are the same brand and formula (ie Mobil 1 and Mobil 1) it's ok to mix. many people on BITOG forum mix oils to get a specific grade. but that's for colder weather, in Sg's climate, nothing to worry. only thing is when you use different brands/formulas, then the additives MAY interfere/react with each other.
