6789city Neutral Newbie August 4, 2013 Share August 4, 2013 penzoil used to be good oil, but now bought by shell.... any reviews anyone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces69 6th Gear August 4, 2013 Share August 4, 2013 Yes I'm hoarder, but I don't hoard to resell, I hoard for my own usage Im just curious. Do u hv any problems when u keep changing the eo u r using? Usually when u drain there wil always b a little left inside so u r actually mixing different formulations. If u keep trying new eo everytime, there wil b several formulations mixed in yr eo all the time. Is there any problem with different additives "fighting" with each other?

Pisces69 6th Gear August 4, 2013 Share August 4, 2013 no prob, left over is so little, majority is new oil OK cos I usually stick with the same EO fr many years n do not mix old eo with new. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kb27 Supersonic August 5, 2013 Share August 5, 2013 OK cos I usually stick with the same EO fr many years n do not mix old eo with new. I wouldn't worry about mixing oil, as long as they are good quality engine oil. For those with engine leaking oil, any oil is good. Better than a seized engine. For those with engine leaking coolant, same thing. No need what super coolant, even tap water is good, as long as it prevents overheating. So sometimes, we spend too much time for some little things.

Mixing oil is much better than not changing oil right? Can't go wrong with that logic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces69 6th Gear August 5, 2013 Share August 5, 2013 Mixing oil is much better than not changing oil right? Can't go wrong with that logic Yes but given the choice of mixing oil n using one type, I wud rather use one type. I just wondering if mixing many different oils with different additives cud cancell them out or have some effect? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I like to try various affordable oils, especially now that there is free shipping from Amazon. German Castrol is cheap! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my previous Altis, I went from Toyota Mineral (for initial break-in) to Mobil 1 to Schaeffer to Mobil 1 to Citgo Mineral to Mobil 1 until I sold it. Engine never had any issue. I go by genie47's mantra, the engine just needs the oil to generate pressure. As long as the oil flows... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil ty hv any bad effects on each other? If the car is old n cheap, then dun care but now car so damm expensive, any major overhaul wil cost a bomb.

Vinceng Turbocharged August 6, 2013 Share August 6, 2013 Mixing different engine oil and petrol brands will NOT cause damage to the engine. I have been doing this for years and no problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
