Another oil thread?
Hey guys, I know there are tons of oil threads out there. However, my question isn't about synthetic vs conventional or weights. I'm wondering, what kind of repercussions are there if i were to mix different brands of oils. Like if i mixed 3 quarts of Mobil synthetic with a quart of Royal Purple Synthetic. Is there anything wrong with that? Will it cause problems?

Can different synthetic motor oils be mixed together?
Mobil 1 is fully compatible with conventional motor oils, semi-synthetic motor oils and other synthetic motor oils, should it be necessary to mix them. However, it is important to note that the superior performance of Mobil 1 will be reduced by diluting it in any way.
Now that wasn't so hard was it?

Lol. Mixing won't kill anything if you're switching to a new brand. But there's no reason to make a habit out of it. The manufacturers put a lot of thought into the additive packages; just mixing two additive packages together at random isn't likely to improve things.

Mixing is a stupid idea in the long run. probably will be okay but why? How do you save money? I just got 5 quarts of 0W30 GC with a K&N oil filter for $27.99. A jug of Mobil 1 at Walmart is only $22.00. To me RP is not worth the extra money but if I didn't have a million other hobbies I would run it.

where do u get the 0w30 gc from for so cheap? even with a 22 jug of mobil 1, the k&n filter would run me atleast 10+. I wanted to try royal purple. And like you, i have too much else to spend so much on it every oil change.
